The Grease Traps get funky at The Big Easy

Oakland funk and soul stalwarts, The Grease Traps, bring their musical mix of hard-driving funk and lowdown soul is guaranteed to get your head noddin’ and cure your dance jones. This rhythm section has been playing together around the Bay Area for over 20 years. They take their musical cues from the old school sounds of the MG’s, the Meters, and the soul-jazz from late 60’s Blue Notes and Prestige labels. In addition to their original material, the Traps are crate diggers as well, breathing new life into lost grooves culled from rare funk 45’s and obscure oft-sampled records.

It is rare for the Traps to make it this far up in the North Bay, so come out to this FREE show to get down and taste a sampling of what they have to offer!
