The Big Smoke Family
Inspired by New Orleans and made in London, The Big Smoke Family embodies the spirit of 'Voodoo Funk'. Led by charismatic drummer and frontman Roy Pfeffer, The London-based ensemble is renowned for its electrifying performances and genre-defying sound. Following in the footsteps of modern New Orleans funk bands like Trombone Shorty, Galactic, and Cha Wa, The Big Smoke Family infuse their music with memorable chants, driving horn lines, and funky street beats. Their performances, ranging from intimate gigs at Ronnie Scott's to spellbinding sets at festivals like Bestival and the London Jazz Festival, have solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the scene. With radio play on BBC Radio, Jazz FM, and WWOZ and credits that include Dr John, Rebirth Brass Band and Zigaboo Modeliste (the Meters), The Big Smoke Family has garnered recognition and support from both fans and industry insiders alike. Their new Album 'Empire' is out now!…
