The Funx – SingStrong 2013

There were some new bands that I have not heard or seen prior to SingStrong this year. The Funx was one of those groups, and I have no doubt you will be hearing about them for a long time. My first impression of them came while they were teaching a class on re-imagining songs for a cappella groups. The song they had as an example was “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse; amazing choice, and the small section that they sang instantly had the attention of everyone in the room! Yeah, I stayed to “get more photos” but really, I just wanted to enjoy their performance a little while longer.

The members of the band jumped feet first into the event coaching other a cappella groups, judging competitions, teaching workshops, and getting the crowd rowdy at their Saturday night performance! Their members are very diverse in background, but they use their talent and experience in vocal performance to make a compelling band to follow. Their members have a diversity of experience both in the a cappella world and even on American Idol! They took turns singing lead during their concert – the feel could go from sultry, jazzy, to energetic and in-your-face! They were definitely an audience favorite in a packed group of performances. You can buy their EP directly from iTunes, and follow The Funx on Facebook and Twitter.
