Funk Nouveau is more than a band—it’s an experience. A three-piece powerhouse from the Quad Cities, Funk Nouveau delivers a unique blend of rock, indie, and ‘divorced hipster dad’ energy, crafting songs that are as fresh as they are nostalgic. Their music rides the line between raw, gritty grooves and infectious melodies, with every performance feeling like a celebration you never want to leave.Frontman Gunner Eberhard (vocals/guitar) brings the songwriting and emotion, weaving stories through his lyrics with a voice that sticks with you. Aaron Paiz (bass) holds down the low end with relentless groove and stage presence, making sure no one within earshot stays still for long. Jacob Oakley (drums) keeps the pulse tight, driving each song with precision and energy that makes every beat hit just right.
Funk Nouveau isn’t just about the music—it’s about the moment. Whether they’re throwing down in a packed venue or making a dive bar feel like Madison Square Garden, their shows are a guaranteed good time. If you’re looking for a band that’s equal parts passion, grit, and sheer fun, Funk Nouveau is the one to watch.
