Fat Box sets out to write original songs with no parameters – heavy on the funk and soul, of course, but also incorporating bits of bluegrass, jazz, reggae, rock and more. 
The results of this strange musical brew can be heard on 2014’s excellent (and amusingly titled) Meteor A’ight, a veritable education in genre-hopping – or genre-mashing, rather....Frankly, few bands would be able to pull off – or even have the nerve to attempt to pull off – such a roller coaster ride of an album. But then again, few have the chops or the chemistry of Fat Box.

The group’s admiration for the jazz infused music of New Orleans and Chicago soul have largely influenced their sound, along with artists such as Galactic, Widespread Panic, The Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, and Parliament Funkadelic. The end result is a wide-ranging blend of music that is unique to itself at every one of their shows.

Next up, local favorites, and one of the hardest working bands in BG, Fat Box took the stage to funk things up a bit. Combining blues, jam, funk, jazz, and just about every other musical adjective in between, played on damn near every rock instrument you’ve ever seen (guitars, horns, keys, and an enviable percussion collection) these guys never fail to deliver booty shakin’, foot shufflin’ fun.
