Mixing funk, jazz, R&B, and soul, this funky crew has been making an impact on the Colorado music scene since 2018. The Skinny’s mission is to bring a vintage sound with an original, modern feel to audiences across the front range and beyond. Their audience continues to grow, allowing the band to bring its deep-grooving, original, dance-funk to the masses. Along the way, the group has developed a sound that is uniquely their own. Memorable guitar riffs, thick bass lines, fat drum beats, ripping keys and a smoking saxophone provide the ingredients for an unforgettable musical experience.

Based in Boulder, CO, the lineup includes Ryan Schwartz on guitar, Chris Ketterhagen on bass, Nick Smarto on keys, Kyle Perez on drums and Glenn Oremus on tenor sax.

The Skinny’s music nods to influences like The Meters, Greyboy Allstars, New Mastersounds, Soulive, Lettuce and Galactic. With a live show that’s always guaranteed to offer something new, The Skinny are becoming a “must see band” you don’t want to miss. Look for some skinny funk coming soon to a venue near you.
