Tales From The Griot of Westminster Album Pre‑Order Now Available (Limited Edition Bio Clear Orange Vinyl)

Equal parts front man, poet and conductor/bandleader, Joe Keyes leads his Late Bloomer Band through a fresh concoction of funk, R&B, soul, rock and jazz while drawing on the musical auras of Miles Davis, Gil Scott-Heron, Sun Ra, early Parliament-Funkadelic and Defunkt. Keyes captivates audiences with his deep, commanding vocals, punctuated by tales of love, dancefloors, family and addiction from his six decades on earth. The band’s vibe and sound – honed over years of theatrical, improvisational shows – journeys from gentle grooves to tight funk and epic crescendos. Joe Keyes has had the pleasure to share stages with names such as Fishbone, George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, Living Colour, DJ Logic, Ghost-Note and many more!
