The SuperBand
This high-powered 9-piece band delivers the extremely funky goods, and then some. The group epitomizes the fertile and fluid Edmonton music scene, showcasing talented musicians from various different bands. Bassist Jay Cairns conceived the SuperBand because to him - funk feels right.

Cairns created the SuperBand by first rounding out the rhythm section with Jamie Cooper. From the Hi-Phoniqs come stellar singers Ian Alleyne and Orville Cameron. The monster line up also includes guitarist Peter Bell and keyboardist Doug Organ, and a great horn section.

The Superband has done their research - each set is a unique and entertaining journey through the history of Funk, with a songlist culled from legendary writers such as Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, P-Funk, and Sly. All groove, all the time.

The message and purpose of this act is Entertainment with a capital E. Energetic and dancey. The SuperBand: nasty and tasty, sly, slick and wicked. They'll make ya wanna get up and shake whatcha mama gave ya.
