Harmonic Funktion is a funk fusion band from Gunnison, Colorado, formed in the spring of 2024. The concept is rooted in creating original music with inspirational grooves that are perfect for dancing.
Founding members, keyboardist Frank Mangum (from popular local bands including MILLK and 100 Mile House) and guitarist Dave Fisher (formerly with Skylar Nimbus and Confluence Band), bring over 60 years of combined experience and began the songwriting process together. They soon joined forces with drummer and kayaking legend Josh Young and bassist Caleb Roach, whose funky grooves laid the foundation for the band’s original sound.
Next, keyboardist and guitarist Maggie Leslie added a fresh style of songwriting and an exceptional level of talent to the mix. Then, the small Colorado mountain town delivered a horn section featuring all-state trumpet player Ariston Awitan IV and saxophonist Erin Geye (also from MILLK and Gypsy Jazz Social Club). Suddenly, Harmonic FunKtion was developing the smooth yet punchy sound that has quickly become a trending anomaly.
Finally, vocalist Sofija Andrew joined the band, bringing tasteful and powerful vocals that elevated the group into an exciting live act capable of creating lasting memories at any event. Harmonic Funktion is dedicated to writing, recording, and performing tight, crisp funk fusion music, always with a focus on originality, groove, and good times.
