Hailing from Buffalo, NY, Funktional Flow is a multi-genre quintet heavily rooted in rock and reggae, with a funk foundation. Over the past six years, the band has released three albums and played hundreds of shows throughout the Northeast and beyond. With the release of the newest album "Time Will Tell” on March 5th 2016, Flow is poised to take it to the next level and branch out nationally. Flow is heavily influenced by Sublime, Umphreys McGee, Moe, and Blind Melon but maintains a fresh, high energy sound that results in a diverse catalog of music. 

Since the bands establishment in 2010, Funktional Flow has played notable music festivals such as Catskill Chill, The Great Blue Heron, A Bears Picnic, Buffalove Music Festival and Night Lights Music Festival. They also host their own festival, “Flow Fest”, at Woodlawn Beach located on the shores of Lake Erie, just outside of Buffalo, NY. Funktional Flow has shared the stage with many notable acts including; Warren Haynes, Railroad Earth, Rusted Root, New Riders of the Purple Sage and members of Little Feat. The Flow has succeeded in making a name for themselves throughout the North East and beyond; continuously earning recognition from musical publications. Recently the band was voted “Best Original Alternative Band” in Western New York. Also featured in Relix magazine’s “On the Rise” section and was a previous winner of the coveted Artvoice “Best of Buffalo” award. Dubbed a multi-genre monster, Funktional Flow is best experienced in its natural state, a live performance.

Slip Madigan is a charmingly delicious rock band known for having an impressively diverse genre-less collection of original song material. With an emphasis on clever song-crafting, many of this band's songs draw from a myriad of influences; From The Beatles to Ween, Zappa to Grateful Dead, Dr. Dog to Wilco, Bob Dylan to Leonard Cohen, Eastern music to Experimentalism, Slip's music cannot be defined. Their art cannot be framed. Distinguished by their high energy addictive live shows, Slip's music has been described as "Psychedelic Experimental Folk-Rockin' Mind Expanding Knifetastic Brainfood".

In a live setting, these well-crafted songs are further augmented by the band's penchant for unorganized musical chaos and unequivocal improvisation skills. Sporting an almost telepathic synergistic connection, Slip Madigan thrives on delving into the musically unknown. Organization, precision, and musical blasphemy is guaranteed. Slip Madigan's live band lineup consists of Ryan McDonough (Guitars),  Brad Robbins (Bass), Jay Stewart (Percussion), and RJ Acanfora (Drum Set), & Wade Benford (Keys) although their studio recordings make use of many additional instruments such as piano, synthesizers, mandolin, banjo, car doors, and hand claps etc...

Over the past 6 years, Slip Madigan has quietly built a reputation around Western New York as "The best band you most likely have never heard of". During this time, the band wrote and recorded most of their current discography and have only recently begun to reach out to unsuspecting audiences around the globe (Western New York).

Formed in the spring of 2005 in Buffalo, New York, Slip Madigan rose like a rabid phoenix from the smoldering ashes of Buffalo's "Total Protonic Reversal" after half of the band died in a horrific accident involving a ham sandwich at Harry Nilsson's London flat. Confused and distraught, the remaining members brushed their scapular aside and proceeded to shelve the entire T.P.R. song catalog and write a new one (although a handful of these songs have been re-arranged and are now included in the band's live show).

Slip Madigan is a band whose music is perpetually evolving. Their songs always find a way to twist and turn and bend and burn until they are cast away like an old piece of fruit. There is no telling what you will here next. And now for something completely different.....
