Candid Antics is a Grand Rapids based funk-fusion band with old school funk vibes mixed with a new age jazz sensibility. Candid Antics is comprised of Berklee and Michigan State graduates, with members hailing from various other groups around West Michigan like The Verve Pipe, Whorled, Squatch, and Cosmic Knot. Members of this ensemble have prior experience with national tours and festivals including summer NAMM, opening slots for Five For Fighting, Afro Man, and SXSW. The group brings a mix of Snarky Puppy influenced artistry with festival jam band energy, with something for every fan to keep their interest through the night. The group has been cutting their teeth with various West Michigan performances, as finalists at Stray’s Battle of the Bands and most recently, winners of Grand Haven’s Walk The Beat competition, receiving 40 hours of recording time at the legendary Third Coast Recording studio, owned by John Mayer and Bon Jovi collaborating engineer Bill Chrysler.
