Boom Boom Room FAVORITE! A band that is at the heart of Bay Area funk, soul, R&B and hip hop, responsible for creating Oakland's most prolific weekly funk and soul jam session-Oakadelic Wednesdays at the Layover. As a band, they improvise and perform styles reminiscent of Parliament Funkadelic, Robert Glasper, Roy Hargrove, Gil Evans, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, J Dilla, Freddie Hubbard, Pink Floyd, Erykah Badu, even the symphonic sounds of Gustave Mahler, and more. With almost entirely improvised shows, the group channels spontaneity of the heart, mind and soul, sure to make you feel the funk, all with a uniquely Oak-Town twist.
