Speaking with melodies…
A blast of funk, jazz, reggae, latin and soul that leaves the excited audience screaming for more.
A trio from L.A. in the USA. A incredibly tight band responsible for the special sound, a funky soul-fusion with an unbelievable groove. All members of the band are from a Latin american background, cool guys with impressive resumes.
These 3 gifted musicians produce an uplifting and completely enjoyable effort to knock your funky socks off. Their unique blend of “covers” and own material draws the listener in and holds him on the edge of his seat.
Their music is a jazz/rock/funk/westcoast kind of mix with a lot of covers (with a definite twist!)as well as their own material. As all three guys have latin background (Marco and Joey from Mexico and Renato from Brazil) their music has a lot of latin influences.
Straitjacket invite you out for an evening on the town, filled with stimulating music and dance for the souls – get into the vibe.
