Mighty funky grooves. Vintage Language Trio (VL3) formed in 2012 and played their first gig before they rehearsed or had any material. The trio built on those raw, improvisational beginnings and created a strong musical chemistry with a sound that’s always rooted in rhythm and groove. VL3 plays high energy sets filled with original tunes and funky covers.

11pm- Shareef Keyes & The Groove
Genre: Funk
For fans of: Thundercat, Janelle Monae, J Cole

Keyes’ upcoming LP Cooking Something features a new sonic climate curated by Shareef Keyes and his older brother Glo. Similar to their work on the Electronic Fox EP, the sibling duo spent countless hours at their private family-owned studio in midtown Manhattan honing a new sound that mixes Motown and jazz-funk fused with a hard hip-hop undertone. The crooner hand-selected a team of NYC’s finest instrumentalists and formed The Groove, a band of former students from Berklee College of Music and The Juilliard School, giving the Keyes brothers the ability to orchestrate live performance influenced, sample-free music.

“The multi-dimensional artist has developed his own sound that fuses P funk, hard hip-hop drums and melodic jazz chords. With his music, Shareef Keyes intends on using sonically pleasing songs to spread meaningful messages to consumers, hoping each and every listener learns and is inspired from the audio experience.” - The Source
