Album Notes

We are not a funk band. We are a state of mind, a kind of music that, much like a fungus, will grow on you.

Get it?

We are all about the spirit of music, the atmosphere and reactions it creates, the energy, the movement, the feeling, the flavor, the love.

All of these things are a result of years of experimentation and research that has been named "flavor rock" by a local Orlando publication.

We are a collaboration of some of Orlando's finest musicians in search of something new, something different, something fun.

Kind, flavorful, commercially challenged grooves... We are funkUs.

Live, local, sweaty! Get infected!

The players:
Ron Betts - vocals, guitar
Dave "the cat" Mann - vocals, guitar
John "Mojo" Jones - vocals, bass
Adam FreeMan - drums, percussion

A hybrid of funky jazz, country rock and reggae, the CD highlights tight musicianship with a whimsical attitude...

Music Puts the Fun in funkUs
author: Steven M. Mason
...in listening to 'flavour', one will indeed get a taste of the powerful vocals of Ron, the sweeping guitar licks of "the cat", the resounding rhythm of "Mojo", and the primal pummeling of Adam. A sample of 'flavour' will leave one licking his or her fingers (or each other's) and wanting more... Be it the hymnal "Whatever", the funkUs anthem that commands everyone to "party", or the eloquent "I Got" that unashamedly tells it like it is, one needs more than a toothpick to shake loose the lingering particles echoing in the cranial cavity...
