Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band “Cirque Du Funk” at the Orange Peel

Funk has a new spokes band, and that band is Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band. They will perform at the Orange Peel on April 19th at 9:00 p.m.

Tickets cost $11 in advance and $14 on the day of the show. Doors open at 8:00 pm. For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit the Orange Peel’s website.

Known for their raucous live shows and outrageous stage wear, the Booty Band’s sound is a mix of deep funk, high-energy rock, plus a little old school rap and soul thrown in for good measure. Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band formed in 2002 and went through a few incarnations before culminating into the dynamic ensemble it is today. Mary Frances “Mama Funk” creates a sultry platform for her keyboard and keytar playing with her powerhouse vocals.

The five-piece funk rock outfit fuels their high-energy show with original compositions, triumphant horns, laid-back grooves and heavy backbeats.
