With their debut album release in the books, The Humidors are gearing up for a big year. Whether they're playing hard-hitting funk, vintage R&B, greasy slow-burn soul, or up-tempo rock, this party ensemble is fully committed to the groove in all its shapes and forms. The band's musical fellowship began in 2010 when likeminded Bay Area musicians were brought together over a mutual love and passion for classic funk and soul. Taking their cues equally from ensembles such as Tower of Power, The J.B.s, The Headhunters, War, Santana, and other bearers of the groove torch, The Humidors won't rest until they have everyone on the dance floor bouncing.

This experienced band of troubadours is grounded in a foundation of chugging drums, bass guitar, and percussion, upon which guitar, organ/keys, and horns build an infectious polyrhythmic stew. Leading it off, vocalist Joseph Carter completes the band with his soulful singing and infectious energy. Featuring a diverse catalog of both originals and covers, The Humidors have developed a sound that pulls from a melting pot of vintage and modern influences, and is rooted in a commitment to the amazing power of the Great Group Dynamic. Meaning, when they're all together on stage, don't be surprised if they Funk You To Death!

At the young age of seven, RonKat's father Lester took him to a Jazz club in Grand Rapids Michigan and asked the legendary "Grant Green" to let his son play percussion for a song.

" Even after just two shows, I’m starting to look forward to hearing their originals as much as the more familiar, revered P-Funk tunes, which makes sense since this isn’t a tribute band but a new tributary off funk’s mighty, muddy river." Jambase 2014

"RonKat Spearman is an artist with a dynamic stage presence,an amazing voice, solid playing skills, remarkable versatility and a foundation that will insure his future in the music industry for a long time to come" - FAD Magazine

"Not only does he sing and play about five different instruments well, RonKat is literally a song writing machine who is able to write a song in less time than it takes most people to write a letter" American Music Press

"RonKat Kicks Ass" - Garry 'Starchild' Shider

"Pamela Parker sounds like the love child of Ann Wilson and Axl Rose."  
- Steve Levington, Program Director, CHLY 101.7FM

A truly gifted songwriter, Pamela Parker has a wealth of classic sounding original songs that span the gamut of the rock idiom with soul and funk elements intertwined to produce a potent new mix.  Parker says, "My message is one of self-empowerment, and my medium is what I grew up on…Rock & Roll!" With stunning vocals, tasty guitar chops, classical piano skills, and a colorful twist on songwriting, Pamela's music is coming full circle as a powerful soulful rock-influenced sound with pop sensibilities. With a live show that is nothing short of electrifying, Pamela Parker has shared stages with Ozomatli, Rusted Root, Heart and Parliament Funkadelic, to name a few.  She has also headlined sizable festivals including 2013 Haight-Ashbury Street Fair, Peace Day SF, Tough Mudder - Toronto, 2012 International Women's Day, 2011 Earth Day SF, Peace Day SF, and Bay Vibes Summer Fest.   Pamela has toured extensively throughout the US and Canada.  The band signed a national distribution deal with Fishbone’s label, Moore Mapp Records with the release of their latest album Evolutionary Process. 

Eufórquestra (pronounced yoof-orchestra, think euphoria+orchestra) is energy and rhythm personified. An ever-evolving sound that has been influenced by music from all over the world with an emphasis on funk, pocket and groove. For over a decade the band has been igniting dance floors across the country, blending the roots of funk, soul, afrobeat, reggae and dub to create a sound that “explodes, dances and melts in your ear with sheer bliss"(Chris M. Slawecki; AllAboutJazz.com).

Eufórquestra’s fifth full-length record, FIRE, was produced by Kyle Hollingsworth (of The String Cheese Incident) and captures the passion and musical maturing of these road warriors. Over the course of 14 tracks, the band takes you on an hour-long adventure that will touch your heart and mind, and keep your fingers and toes tapping. A handful of special guests, including Elliot Martin (John Brown’s Body), Gabriel Mervine and Kim Dawson (The Motet) and Mr. Hollingsworth himself, put their own touches on the band’s already cohesive sound that is “tight and engineered to a fine, funky precision.” (Jeremy Frazier; Chicago Jam Scene) The result is a record that is distinctly modern, maintaining one foot in the future and firmly planting in the musical roots traditions of the past.

With almost 1,000 shows under their belt, Eufórquestra shows no sign of stopping. A perpetually heavy tour schedule keeps the band and fans happy, as performing live in front of an audience has always been the band’s top priority. As noted in a live show review by Grateful Web, “...the boys seem to play like the apocalypse will happen at any second and they want to die doing what they do best...”
