Knuf delves in to an indie funk fusion vibe with a vibrant coat of creativity bringing it into the fourth dimension.
Not far from where gold was first discovered in the Sierra Foothills, a band calling itself Knuf has emerged with similarly auspicious tidings. When this trio hit the stage, they attack each moment with laser-focused intensity. Influences from certain legendary jambands are evident, yet they are committed to applying their own strokes to the canvas. Last time they were here they dropped a bunch of amazing original material on us and unveiled a whole new approach to their sound. This is more of an indie funk fusion vibe with a vibrant coat of creativity bringing it into the fourth dimension.
There is no shortage of bands that can jam, but Knuf sets itself apart with a remarkable vocal presence led by guitarist Matt Gillies. The man is oozing with soul and swagger. He can suddenly shift into Motown mode and leave you with your jaw on the floor. They also have a solid foundation of original material sprinkled amidst the fantastic array of covers. Tasty improv jams are led by liquid guitar and propelled by a forceful rhythm section. If only dancing was always this easy.
