When Brooklyn collective Gentleman Brawlers performs, it's more than a concert: It's an electrifying experience. Led by creative duo Becca Fox and Matt Walsh, the group channels musical inspo Talking Heads with their distinct brand of Afrofunk and indie dance music.

Through a sonic blend of disco-based horn lines, sticky highlife guitar, and polyrhythms from West Africa, Trinidad, and Brazil, GB’s live shows ignite a community-based, improvisational energy; in studio, they will often reimagine their songs through an EDM lens. Whether the audience is on the dance floor or pressing play, Gentleman Brawlers always delivers an exhilarating, celebratory experience.

Acclaimed by the BBC's Tom Robinson as "a virtuoso live band, grooving together like a beautifully engineered machine, GB has opened for Grammy artists Cimafunk, Los Amigos Invisibles & Fantastic Negrito at Brooklyn Bowl and performed at Perelman Performing Arts Center, Pier 1/Summer on the Hudson, Burlington Discover 
Jazz Fest, Hudson River Museum, and The Public Theater’s Summer Block Party.
