The first of many collaborations with funk-soul label, Fraternity Music Group. Two of my favorite funk 45s from 1969 get a 2017 re-working for this release.

The Zone Identity is a work in progress – it’s essentially me paired with different combinations of musicians to see what comes about. Basically, any funk endeavors I have that aren’t under The Du-Rites’ umbrella. For the inaugural release, I’m joined by percussionist Ray May, guitarist/bassist Ed Littman and Bennett Paster on the Hammond B-3. Ed and Bennett are members of Fraternity Music Group house band, The UBs. I’m on drums and pick up bass duties on the b-side as well.

Instrumental funk for your stereo!
