FUNK AND NEW ORLEANS

about
No Turn On Red is a solid funk band based in Chicago that delivers thick killer grooves with an injection of New Orleans brass band flare. The bands’ influences include the Meters, Rebirth Brass Band, James Brown, Jimmy Hendrix, The Dirty Dozen, Lettuce, Tower of Power, Galactic, and the great Stevie Wonder. Since its inception in 2013, No Turn On Red’s mission has been to produce high energy shows with a provocative mix of styles that inconspicuously blend old school with the new kool.
