Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket

Classic R&B/Funk/Soul

Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket

Big Ol'  Dirty Bucket has taken the New England music scene by storm since their  debut in 2009.  The 10-piece funk ensemble has redefined the sound of  classic funk, by slathering it together with a substantial slice of  hip-hop, blending it with flavors of jazz, blues, soul, and frosting the  top with rock n' roll. Hailing from Boston, Big Ol' Dirty Bucket is led  by the triple-threat of velvet-voiced front-woman Kobi, emcee Micah  Casey (a.k.a. "Big Daddy Disco"), and guitar slinger & vocalist Ryan  Green (a.k.a "Funk McNasty").  The ferocious and relentless groove of  the bands’ all-original funk music is driven by the thunderous rhythm  section of drummer Dave Share, bassist Joe Cesarz, and percussionist Jim  Schunneman. The group’s hard-hitting pocket sound is rounded out by  keyboard extraordinaire Scotty King, and a horn section featuring  saxophonist Matt Oliphant, and Trombone player Rich Houghton.

Big Ol'  Dirty Bucket have toured throughout New England and the Tri-State area,  and have appeared with artists such as George Clinton, Onyx, The 420  Funk mob, Tracy Bonham, Steve Kimock, The Rustic Overtones, The Everyone  Orchestra (featuring members of Moe.), and have worked with artists  such as Galactic, Norwood Fisher (Fishbone), and Mike "Kidd Funkadelic"  Hampton (Original P-Funk). Their single "You make me feel (like  dancin')", which was released on the band's self-titled debut album, was  named one of the top 100 songs of 2012 by The Boston Globe. 'Bucket  Express', their sophomore studio effort, which featured in-studio  collaborations with members of P-Funk, Galactic, and Fishbone, was named  #4 on Funkatopia's list of the Top 20 Funk Albums of 2014.
