Dragon Smoke formed in 2003 as a “Superjam” – part of the New Orleans Jazz Fest tradition of putting together a band of musician who don’t normally play together and just see what happens. With the dual vocals of Neville and Lindell, matched with the Galactic rhythm section, the band quickly realized, “We are on to something!”. The band has played during every Jazz Fest since its inception. This inception took place at the tiny smokey Dragon’s Den Bar, hence the name – Dragon Smoke.

The music centers around Lindell’s blue eyed soul , Neville’s funk and R&B, and Galactic’s groove. Besides annual trips to the West Coast the past 10 years, and a 2013 trip to the East Coast, this band has been strickly playing around New Orleans. With everyone in the band being a leader in their own, it is rare to get this band together. And when it does, it shows that these guys are really having FUN! From the interplay and communication between the members, you would think that Dragon Smoke has been touring for years.

Dragon Smoke is looking towards the future, with plans to write and record an album and to do more touring outside of New Orleans. So be on the lookout for the Smoke—IF YOU SEE SMOKE, YOU KNOW YOU WILL SEE FIRE!

**KATDELIC**
RonKat is a grammy nominated/song writer of the year winner. He was a vocalist/musician with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic from 2000 to 2010. Touring the world with GCPF has enriched his talents and pushed his skills to even higher levels of achievement. RONKAT’s music is a combination of funk and rock. Bridging unbelievably tasteful elements of multi-genres in a musical blend of pure magic. Katdelic began as RonKat’s off the road project for the past few years but as of 2010 (with George Clinton’s Blessing) Ronkat devoted all of his time and work to work on his D.O.T.M.S. (Dance On The Mothership) CD .Ronkat picks up on the incredibly high standard set forth by George Clinton with Funkadelic. He takes this framework and contextures it to a new paradigm of futuristic jubilance. Dr. Funkenstein himself show up in this and personally hands over to Ronkat the keys to the ever-mystical and Fonk-N on Mothership.

Katdelic is P Funk allstar RonKat Spearman’s extraordinary band. RonKat is a grammy nominated, BMI “songwriter of the year award” winner with multiple platinum records to is credit. His musical genius is obvious and overwhelming from the very moment that Katdelic takes the stage. It is spectacular!

Just when you thought the funk could get no deeper, it just did. Ronkat Spearman has delivered the best funk record of the year. It crackles, bubbles, grinds and oozes with so much sonic groove. Ronkat is one of the new breed of multi-instrumentalist, producer-visionaries out of the bubbling Bay Area Funk scene.

Every…track….rocks. All songs written, produced, performed, engineered, mixed, vocals and lyrics by Ronkat Spearman. Ronkat’s genius perpetually serves up one good groove after another the not only packs a dance floor, it challenges the listener to soul-search and self-examine through uncanny thought-provoking lyrical imagery. This Kat has something to say.
