For nearly three decades, Galactic has been bringing the 鈥榝unk鈥� to the world and this July they will be bringing it to the Comox Valley. New Orleans鈥� Galactic performs a vibrant combination of funk, jazz and R&B traditions with their own brand of jam-based grooves.
After 10 albums, over 2,000 gigs, and tens of millions of streams, the proud New Orleans quintet 鈥� Ben Ellman (saxophone, harmonica), Robert Mercurio (bass), Stanton Moore (drums, percussion), Jeffrey Raines (guitar), and Richard Vogal (keyboards) 鈥� has kept the torch burning through five U.S. presidential regimes, the turn-of-the-century, Hurricane Katrina, a global pandemic, and a much-anticipated recovery.
They鈥檙e the rare collective who can support Juvenile on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, contribute music to a blockbuster soundtrack such as Now You See Me, and light up the stages of Coachella, Bonnaroo, and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (a staggering 22 times).
