Equal parts front man, poet and conductor/bandleader, Joe Keyes leads his Late Bloomer Band in their 15th year anniversary through a fresh concoction of funk, R&B, soul, rock and jazz while drawing on the musical auras of Miles Davis, Gil Scott-Heron, Sun Ra, early Parliament-Funkadelic and Downtown NYC in The 80s Band Defunkt. Keyes captivates audiences with his deep, commanding vocals, punctuated by tales of love, dance floors, family and addiction from his six decades on earth. The band’s vibe and sound – honed over years of theatrical, improvisational shows – journeys from gentle grooves to tight funk and epic crescendos. Joe Keyes has had the pleasure to share stages with names such as, Fishbone, George Clinton, Funkadelic Parliament, Living Colour, Dj Logic, Ghost Note and many more!
