MAJOR FUNK and MECCA OF STANK at Live on Elgin

(EDT, UTC-04) (EDT, UTC-04)

Live on Elgin, 220 Elgin St (2nd floor), Ottawa, ON

MAJOR FUNK: A unique brand of Yukon Funk. 2021 Western Canadian Music Award Nominee. High energy bass-led grooves, soaring vocals, and a tight horn section; this isn’t what you’d expect from a band coming from the Yukon in Canada’s North, but it’s exactly what you get with Whitehorse’s Major Funk. It’s also a great formula to get a crowd moving, and they’ve got this down to a science. Several years of research and development in the studio and on the road has refined the band’s sound into something familiar but fresh, epic but accessible, and dangerously infectious. Most importantly, however, it’s a ton of fun, and it makes you want to dance. It’s all on display in their growing discography of top notch funk-pop music and their unforgettable live shows: a groove-heavy genuinely good time that will stay with you long after the last note.

MECCA OF STANK: Blending elements of r&b, old school hip hop, soul, funk, jazz, reggae, downtempo and Latin music, Mecca of Stank has been performing music since 2019. One of the funkiest and soulful new bands to come out of Ottawa in recent years, their debut single 'Dopamine Dreams (feat. Rebecca Noelle)' garnered them much critical acclaim in 2022 and they continue to record, releasing their 8th single in this fall. Nominated for an OMIC 2023 Capital Music Award for Best Newcomer and invited to play at Canadian Music Week in Toronto, their mission is to entice the listener into a heightened state of musical euphoria (i.e., the stank face), to promote love and positive vibes.
