Dorado is a funk rock band from Portland, Oregon comprised of Sky Cooper (guitar, vocals), Johnny G (bass), James Ford (drums).
According to founder Sky Cooper, the creation of the band was a slow evolution."It's a kind of an Hip-Hop flavored rhythm section with a rock frosting.”
“Dorado combines musical sophistication with funky badass grooves and raw talent. I hear everything from Steely Dan to Beck to funk bands from the 70's like Tower of Power. Then take a smooth breathy vocal delivery and clever melodic choices to add over the top. It is really groovy stuff"
- Portland engineer/musician and owner of 8 Ball studios Rob Stroup.
The head of Backline Records Patrick Brewer, who released Dorado's 2nd album, says of the group; “those guys are out there working all the time, which is what we’re all about…and we thought the material was strikingly original”.
