The band’s repertoire consists of classic songs by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind & Fire, Beyoncé, and others, as well as rich, grooving original compositions. The group has “big fun” exploring this music with wit, energetic interaction, and soulfulness. The CD Big Fun(k) Live is available now, and Big Fun(k) Journey will be released in 2020.
Don Braden and Big Fun(k) is sponsored by our friends at New Jersey Jazz Society with the support of Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
