Take funk, jazz, and pop music and put it in a blender. Add a dash of soul, and you are deep in the groove of The JurassiC.

The band has plugged their sound into a 70’s funk machine, twisting pocket bass lines with colorful improvisational melodies and sweet, punch-packing vocals. Their most recent EP Follow Me beautifully illustrates this combination. thejurassic.bandcamp.com

This group is forging its path through the Bay Area, playing with like minds including Anya and the Get Down, JRo Project, Natalie Cressman, and Sweet HayaH; programming a sold-out 2013 Halloween Bash at Blackbird Tavern (San Jose); moving beyond their hometown with successful shows at the Boom Boom Room (San Francisco) and Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento); hosting their recent EP release party at future-music venue the Pagoda; and performing at the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest two years in a row, closing the Gordon Biersch Stage in 2013.
