With a bold hornline, delightful vocals, and the grooviest rhythm section to come out of central Ohio, this is a band you don't want to miss! Inspired by the timeless grooves of James Brown and Stevie Wonder to the modern funk of Bruno Mars and Vulfpeck, Bad Karl thrives on unique arrangements and expanded improvisation of your favorite tunes.
