Funk!
Released on September 30, 2016
Brian Culbertson's Funk! is a throwback, funkadelic, old-school record in the style of P-Funk meets Prince that will make you dance, laugh, sing along and pretty much get down. That's what Funk! is all about. It had been 8 years since the release of Bringing Back The Funk so everyone was ready for this one!
