Jelly Bread, from Reno, NV, is a tour de force of full frontal funk, thoroughly steeped in a Rock-Americana style, with a dash of rollicking indie alt-rock appeal.
The band is fronted by award winning songwriter and lap steel player Dave Berry, as well as vocalist and beast of a drummer Cliff Porter. The band’s ability to meld the elements of a high-desert twang and Oakland funk and rock through musical alchemy produces a chameleonic playlist highlighted by dual vocals that bounce between native chanting at a bluegrass barbeque and a gospel singer fronting a rock band at a Sunday morning service.
Jelly Bread’s mix of in-the-pocket drum and bass grooves, swampy lap steel guitar, dirt-under-the-fingernails guitar licks, and take-’em-to-church organ is downright appetizing—bright colors and sweet, funky flavors.
With influences like Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, and Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Jelly Bread is sure to have the good times rolling on the Big Room dance floor.
