Pioneers of what they call “People Music”—drawing from jazz, funk, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and more diverse influences—this South Florida-based ensemble embodies a vibrant, genre-blending sound. Hear them for two nights of eclectic, beat-driven shows, complete with a two-drummer setup for double the funk.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Featuring Vaughn “V.KEYS” Henry on keys and vocals, Dion Kerr on bass and Harvel Nakundi and David Chiverton on drums, The Smoogies champion “a musical smoothie” of cultures and life experiences.
They are now preparing to unveil their third album—an energetic live recording captured in their home state of Florida. Their journey began with a buzz-generating feature on The Chivertone Sessions, which caught the attention of trumpeter Nicholas Payton and led to their debut release, Planet Smoogies.
Each member has performed on stages worldwide, contributing their talents to acclaimed acts like Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Marcus Strickland, Richard Bona, Ettiene Charles and Kirk Franklin.
