The Brooklyn Tighten Up plays a funky and soulful blend of hits from the 60s 70s and 80s, brought straight from the heart of Brooklyn. Dipping from the musical wishing-well of Bill Withers, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Prince, Stevie Wonder and countless others, the Tighten Up will “make you move your feet and hit you with a sucker-punch of soul.”
The musicians involved have performed with Brazilian Girls, Akoya Afrobeat, Rustic Overtones, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Norah Jones, Andrew Bird, The Pimps of Joytime and many others.
