The Dallas-based collective Funky Knuckles has been around for over ten years, combining bizarre rhythms with an abundance of harmonic complexity. Their music moves between funk, jazz and improvisation, with a sound comparable to that other famous Dallas band: Snarky Puppy.

The band members have previously performed with greats such as Janet Jackson, Stanley Clarke and Larry Carlton. Now they present their album The Way It Is, which fully showcases their versatility and collective strength.
