Artist Profile: Nate Phung

The inaugural Artist Profile highlights Southern California's Nate Phung, front-person for Nate Funk and the Funky Bunch.

Written by: Mister Substitute This is the inaugural Artist Profile where Mustard and I will be highlighting artists that we… well… want to highlight, and the person that inspired this idea is none other than Southern California’s own Nate Phung, front-person for Nate Funk and the Funky Bunch. I first found Nate on a random Bandcamp Friday: Nate commented on a Tweet I posted about Bandcamp…

Give me the mic, let me recite till Timothy White Pickets outside the Interscope offices every night. What if he's right? I'm just a criminal makin' a livin' off of the world's misery. What in the world gives me the right to say what I like And walk around flippin' the bird? Livin' the urban life like a white kid from the burbs. Dreamin' at night of screamin' at Mom, schemin' to leave; Run away from home and grow to be as evil as me.

Kurt Elling & Charlie Hunter - Guilty Pleasures - together again for a new set of 6 covers, including a funky take on AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” 😲 Nate Smith joins them on drums

GRAMMY award-winning jazz vocalist Kurt Elling builds towards his second, highly anticipated, SuperBlue album in Fall 2023 by releasing a 6-track EP 'Guilty Pleasures,' with guitarist Charlie Hunter and featuring special guest drummer Nate Smith - two musicians who are deservedly regarded as world leading players in their own right. Bursting with his trademark charisma, energy and showmanship, ‘Guilty Pleasures’ is set to offer fans of Kurt’s debut SuperBlue album a guiltless treat with six high-octane covers (including Al Jarreau’s Boogie Down as you’ve never heard it before!). There’s an additional playfulness and looseness in these fresh recordings that is entirely compelling, but Kurt’s creative spark, intensity and flair for storytelling remains at the centre, leaving listeners wanting more and more. The great Chi-town singer and consummate entertainer continues to astonish with each and every recording. The New York Times described Kurt as “the standout male jazz vocalist of our time”, a statement that appears more appropriate with every new release.
