Butcher Brown, a jazz quintet from Richmond, Virginia, showcased their unique blend of psychedelic jazz funk with a hip-hop twist at a recent Tiny Desk concert. The band, known for their "solar music" concept that draws from various musical influences, received high praise for their hot and funky performance that had attendees sporting plenty of "stank faces."

With members Marcus Tenney, Morgan Burrs, Corey Fonville, Andrew Randazzo, and DJ Harrison, Butcher Brown has been hailed for their mix of jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, and R&B, earning acclaim from jazz enthusiasts, rap fans, and indie music lovers alike. The band's sound, described as a "'70s jazz-funk fusion throwback," seamlessly transitions between genres with the expertise of long-time collaborators.

The group's cover of Little Richard's "Rip It Up" even caught the attention of Monday Night Football, which selected the track as its theme song in September 2020. Influenced by artists like D'Angelo, the Headhunters, and the Robert Glasper Experiment, Butcher Brown continues to push musical boundaries with their innovative and electrifying performances.
