Kissing Potion - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Echoing the battle cry of Funk Diva Sharon Jones, "You've Got to FEEL it", Kissing Potion brings funk & soul to life, with a full horn section that brings new meaning to the phrase "FUNK YOU!", and a rhythm section whose groove will move you from your soul down to your toes!

Kissing Potion has been a long time in the making. The original concept was a ten member strong, all-female funk group, but then we met Ira, whose smooth bass stylings were so tight that we couldn't HELP but ask him to join our lady-laden lair of FUNK.

For your listening pleasure, we rotate songs from our live performances...kind 'a gritty, but that's how we LIKE it! Let us know what you think!
