Sonic Funk Orchestra
Get ready to groove with Sonic Funk, the ultimate 12-piece horn-driven party sensation based in the Pacific Northwest! We specialize in bringing to life the chart-topping hits of the 70s and early 80s by iconic artists like Kool & The Gang, KC & The Sunshine Band, Earth Wind & Fire, Rose Royce, The Trammps, and more.
SFO is America's Favorite Disco and Funk Experience
What sets Sonic Funk apart is our unwavering dedication to the 70s & 80s Funk, Disco, and R&B era. We don't spread ourselves thin trying to cover multiple decades; we focus on what we do best and do it with unmatched flair! From our tight and choreographed 4-piece vocal section to our wireless horn section that grooves without reading music on stage, Sonic Funk delivers a performance that feels like an original band playing covers.
When we hit the stage, the party ignites and doesn't let up! Some of our memorable past performances include headlining events at The Taste Of Tacoma, The Bite Of Seattle, The Taste NW, Washington State Fair, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Mariners, Seattle Sonics, Seattle Storm, Seattle Kraken, and the City of Seattle's New Year's celebration at the Needle, with over 25,000+ in attendance. We've also rocked venues like Tulalip Resort Casino, Muckleshoot Casino, Clearwater Resort Casino, Wild horse Resort Casino, Little Creek Resort Casino, Skagit Valley Resort Casino, Ilani Resort Casino, Red Wind Casino, 7 Cedars Casino, McMenamins Spanish Ballroom, The Crystal Ballroom-Portland, Jazzbones, and many more legendary venues across the US. Plus, we've had the honor of opening & sharing the stage with WAR, Morris Day & The Time, Edgar Winter Group, Cheap Trick, The Temptations & Four Tops, and KC & The Sunshine Band!
Here's what people are saying about Sonic Funk:
"The Bee Gee's music from 'Saturday Night Fever' has become an iconic representation of the mid-70s and the age of disco. But I flashed by the Commodores' 'Brick House' the other day on the oldies station and had a more powerfully resonate 70's flashback - the funk riff on that thing was letter-perfect. I don't know if any member of the Sonic Funk Orchestra is dying a thousand deaths over his potty-mouthed daughter like Lionel Ritchie, but when these 12 cats get into a groove, it's pure motion potion." - Suzy Stump, Weekly Volcano
"SONIC FUNK is HOT! That big bold funky horn sound took me straight to my era of the seventies! The vocals do bring it, with that falsetto thing going on. I like them!" - Steve Sneed, Program Manager, Seattle Center Productions
"The band is awesome! My friends and I are still recovering from dancing all night. I love the horns especially. They were dancing the entire time. Too cool!" - Lauren K, Red Wind Casino
"The energy is incredible! You put on an actual performance that was a total blast to watch and I felt like I was part of. Sonic Funk is THE band period hands down! Nuff said PEACE!" - Nick Vannas, Red Wind Casino
"You are the only band I have heard nail the Stylistics as good as themselves. Excellent show. I will definitely see you again!" - Craig Thomas, Red Wind Casino
"You are amazing! I'm so glad you are coming back in November. Showmanship is incredible!!" - Cassie, 7 Cedars Casino
"Sonic Funk is the BEST band in the area hands down. The band was high energy from start to finish and the kicking horns were off the hook!!" - Craig & Tina James, Bite Of Seattle
"The most incredible show I have ever seen was at the Bite Of Seattle yesterday for me and my friends when we grooved to your band. Wish that you would come to the Tulalip Casino to play. Let me know if you do." - Anna, Bite Of Seattle
