Wellfleet is about to have a taste and catch a case of the PHUNK that’s been making folks of the land dance and packing venues throughout the Eastern region.

The GROOVALOTTOS are a soul-funk band of seasoned and award-winning studio and touring soul, funk, jazz and blues players. Said to play with their souls instead of their hands,The GROOVALOTTOS are contemporary Cherokee, Choctaw, and Wampanoag ‘Song Keepers’ bringing strong medicine in the form of soul-funk.

The GROOVALOTTOS consist of Eddie Ray Johnson, drums and vocals; Mwalim “DaPhunkee Professor”, keyboards and vocals; and Red Bone Sweeting on bass and vocals. Mwalim is the 2010, 2012 and 2014 winner of the ‘Best Male Jazz’ artist category in the New England Urban Music Awards and is a multi-category top nominee in the Native American Music Awards.
