Funky Monks from Red Shoes by Roosevelt Dime
The band pays homage to their childhood influences in this re-imagining of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's “Funky Monks” as a New Orleans - style swamp boogie with Green's banjo sounding more Dr. John than Deliverance.
Seamlessly combining the groove of classic feel-good Rhythm and Blues with traditional acoustic Americana instrumentation, Roosevelt Dime has crafted a signature style of syncopated New Orleans rhythms, boogie woogie banjo, swinging blues guitar, and searingly soulful vocals in a vibrant mix that the New York Times classifies as "...a perpetual crowd pleaser.”
