About

MalFunkTion is an eight‑piece, horn‑powered funk/pop band built by a lineup of full‑time, career musicians. Every member comes from long‑running projects, national‑level acts, and established regional bands — and MalFunkTion is the passion project where they come together to play the music they love most.

With a three‑piece horn section, powerhouse female lead vocalist, and a rhythm section with decades of combined stage experience, MalFunkTion delivers a high‑energy show shaped by musicians who live and breathe performance. This is the band they built for themselves — a place to stretch out, have fun, and bring a horn‑band party to every stage they hit.
