DESCRIPTION:
Sofa King combines a jazz, funk, soul and R&B sound with honesty, emotion and deep down, feelgood dance grooves. Each song is a reflection of the diversity of parts that make up this dynamic group.
Funk and soul peppered with a message of social justice and love.

While Sofa King is a bass driven, hard funk act, they pay homage to the stylistic groove funk of the 70's and 80's. Whether it be disco, R&B or swung funk, Sofa King has something to offer every soul music lover and anyone who likes to dance!

Sofa King is a funk and soul music project established in Chico CA in 2012. We are musicians, activists, lovers and all around funksters. Our goal is to bring soulful dance music to the world.



"This is a different level of funk: a precisely sharpened set of fusion grooves meshed into a package that slides into your head, heart and gut in a way that astounds with its understatedly powerful swing and snap."~David Namerow-Philadelphia, PA
