Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band is a seasoned group of musicians, who have taken their high energy, Funk filled live stage show back and forth across the country, performing in 49 of the 50 US states since they first hit the scene, back in 2002. The band was conceived in Boone, NC and quickly gained a cult following for their wildly entertaining and “over the top” stage antics. In 2006, Booty Band, as fans affectionately nicknamed the group, moved to Asheville, North Carolina, and have since become the poster child for the Asheville Music scene. The band has released 4 studio albums, 2 live albums and 1 remix album over the span of their career and recently received the honor of being featured artists on a Grammy Winning Album "Infinity Plus One" from “Kid-Hop” artist Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. These road warriors have stripped layers of varnish off many dance floors, laid down immeasurable amounts of rubber on the pavement and have left fans all over the country with memories that will last a lifetime.

Start Time: 8:30
Akita Funk burst onto the scene with the mission to forge a wave of infectious beats and grooving melodies that draw crowds and get feet moving across the country.
The seven-piece power house’s danceable magic is layered—anchored by thunderous bass and soulful guitar, elevated by the lofty harmonies of booming sax and trombone, tied together with complex, flowing beats, and perfected with deep grooves resonating from sweet keys and crooning vocals.
Akita Funk’s vibrant sound seamlessly blends the upbeat energy of funk trailblazers Lettuce, the soul and intensity of psychadelic rock legend George Clinton, and the genre-bending power of Earth, Wind & Fire The band exists to create a more joyous world with the vitality of complex and bright funk—from festivals to parties to crowded concerts of thousands.
Akita has been a staple of the Southeast funk scene since 2017. Their 2nd release, After Party, is scheduled to be released August 2021 and will be available on all platforms. Keep an eye on festivals and concert venues near you for the next unforgettably lively dance party.
