Funk Engine
​​It’s hard not to like this very hip album.’ - Eric Myers on Jazz Funk (The Australian)
For over 10 years, Funk Engine have been active in the Australian music scene bringing their unique style of jazz-funk to audiences across the east coast. They have released three albums collaborating with ARIA award winning artists Pat Powell and DOBBY with their latest album Jazz-Funk receiving international recognition.
