About Us


JUNK is a Jazz/Funk Fusion Throwdown that lays out a high-energy show for bars, clubs, dances and special events. This group includes Sax, Trombone, Guitar, Keyboards, Bass, Drums and DJ.

There’s a new party emerging from the eclectic music scene in the Washington Metro area and JUNK! is leading the way. JUNK has gathered some of area's finest alternative Jazz, Funk and Rock musicians to form this new fusion group.

While JUNK's roots lie in jazz, groove, and soul music, they step outside of the more traditional formats, blending diverse backgrounds to create funky, grooving music that is decidedly unique and captivating. The band shows just how well jazz, funk and rock can hit it off by combining the intensity and energy of the latter with the improvisations and harmonic complexity of the former. It’s a blend with an unprecedented sound.

JUNK! performs a mix of original material, re-mixes and cover songs from:

  • Soulive
  • Grey Boy Allstars
  • Liquid Soul
  • Jamiroquai
  • Hendrix
  • Bob Marley
  • Brand New Heavies
  • Stanton Moore
  • Action Figure Party
  • Stevie Wonder
  • Nils Landgren's Funk Unit
  • Herbie Hancock
  • Cypress Hill
  • ...and many classic Soul, Funk and Blues tunes.

    Depending on the night and venue, JUNK! features Guest Appearences on Percussion and Vocals.
