VELOUR DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE SMOKIN’ GROOVES OF SUPERGROUPS LIKE THE METERS, GALACTIC, THE GREYBOY ALLSTARS, AND THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS. WITH A BLEND OF FUNK, JAM, AND ACID JAZZ, VELOUR CREATES AN EXCITING LISTENING AND DANCE EXPERIENCE. SOMETIMES IN MOVEMENTS, THEIR ORIGINAL PIECES ARE AS FAMILIAR AS THEY ARE FRESH. VELOUR'S VIBES FIND THE PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN THE POCKET GROOVE AND THE ART OF SPACIOUS IMPROVISATION. WHERE FUNK MEETS ACID JAZZ, VELOUR WILL MEET YOU THERE.

The Casual Funk is a laid-back funk/soul band hailing from Santa Cruz. The group features Andy Perlitch on vocals and saxophones, Mark Thomas on trumpet and keys, Duncan Shipton and Cameron Smith on guitars, Rowan DeCosse-Graves on drums, and Thomas Langan on bass.
