Skunk Funk International – a tribute to the music of the Brecker Brothers was founded on the initiative of bass player extraordinaire Lorenzo Feliciati

Skunk Funk International – a tribute to the music of the Brecker Brothers was founded on the initiative of bass player extraordinaire Lorenzo Feliciati (IT) and self proclaimed Michael Brecker fan, sax player Sean Freeman (UK) in 2018.

The other members were hand picked to fit the band format and also for their ability to bring their own resources and personalities to the table.

All the guys in this very international band are award winning,
poll winning artists in their own right both in their respective
countries and worldwide: Martin Verdonk-percussion
(Curaçao), Simon Oslender- keyboards (GER), Marc
Guillermont-guitar (FRA), Teus Nobel- trumpet (NL),
Lorenzo Feliciati-bass (IT), Sean Freeman-sax (UK) and Erik
Smith-drums (NOR). In addition everybody have extensive
carreers doing clinics, workshops, lectures and private teaching,
making it possible to organize educational packages of any kind
combined with concerts with the band.

The driving force behind Skunk Funk International is, of
course our collective admiration and deep respect for the music
of the Brecker Brothers. Their energetic blend of quirky
themes, great grooves and unusual harmonies became the
inspiration for a whole generation of musicians. The objective is
also to present this great music to the new generation of music
students and young musicians. In these fast pace times things gets quickly forgotten but we feel that this music is genuinely
timeless and deserves to be kept alive. We are proud to be the
only band out there to pull out all the stops and present to you
