Band Bio: Awarded the Big Easy Music Award for “Best Funk Group of 2008,” Big Sam’s Funky Nation is a driving force of urban funk. The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Sam Williams, who the SF Chronicle calls “the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz.” The talented musicians in the Funky Nation meet the challenges of their funky band leader. BSFN masterfully combines a rock sensibility with improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that’s the hallmark of big band funk. The energy level is high voltage when BSFN takes the stage, as Jambase Online proclaims, “as long as groups like Big Sam’s Funky Nation helm communal happenings like this one the funky fever is bound to spread.”
