Capitol Groove

Horns, guitar and a drum-and-bass rhythm section anchor this Wavell Heights funk and soul outfit, which scales from a six-piece up to a full ten-piece depending on the booking. A quieter five-piece jazz configuration is also on offer for dinner or pre-dance sets, alongside the larger funk lineup built for the dance floor. Old-school funk and soul standards sit alongside modern hits across its song list, from James Brown's I Got You (I Feel Good) and Aretha Franklin's Respect through to more recent tracks like Maroon 5's This Love and Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire. Motown, disco and blues brothers-era soul all get a run, with songs associated with Wilson Pickett, the Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder.
