Piloted by legendary bandleader Bill "Fatback" Curtis (percussion) and reinforced by Ledjerick Todd Woods (trumpet), Robert Lock (saxophone), Zack Guinn (bass, vocals), Darryl McAllister (guitar,vocals) and Desmond Humphrey (drums,vocals), the group's high-energy songs and live performances are raw, earthy and explosive, showcasing members' improvisational skills and musicianship. Poetic lyrics are bolstered by an infectious groove that pumps blood through the heart of the Fatback Band and brings fans their feet. The Fatback Band embodies the imaginative spirit of street music and free expression and was first formed in 1970 by veteran drummer Bill Curtis in New York City. Throughout four decades, Curtis and his crew have revolutionized the foundations of dance, funk, soul, rap and R&B.
