FU plays tasty, instrumental Funk/Soul/Jazz Fusion with all the fixins and chicken grease that a music lover could ask for. Paying tribute to the styles of 70’s Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis electric Fusion bands, and all the way into modern day heavy hitters like Lettuce and Butcher Brown. Say Uncle!

Big Greasy Funk Band is a celebration of New Orleans funk and blues -- the roots of American music. The French Quarter's official kickoff to Mardi Gras is called the “Big Greasy,” and it’s a fitting name for a high-energy band that gets the party started.

The Big Greasy Funk Band formed in 2025. Its members have over one hundred years of performance experience across the country in groups including Funky Uncle, the Jon Archambault Band, 1000 Watt Prophets, Stone Folk, Big Fun, Blue Water Kings Band, and others.
