Quality live music from smooth jazz to groove funk.
The Fusion are ambassadors of pure groove and cool funk.

They have played extensively in most of the renowned venues in the city and at events and functions throughout the Southwest.
The music is inspired by the greats of the Blue Note and the late 60s and 70s funk sound. They perform their own versions of classics from the likes of The Meters, Herby Hancock, Lou Donaldson among others.
