About Us

Reverend Barry & The Funk are an 8-pc funk band featuring a 3-pc horn section, and one of the fastest-rising “buzzworthy” acts in the state Florida. Fueled by their recent #1 Global Position on Reverbnation’s Funk Charts after the release of their debut album “SxyGdLuv”, and the success of their recent breakout single “LoveShine”, this 8-pc band is now headlining festivals and larger venues around the state.

This talented band features:

  • Grammy-nominated drummer Ray C. Williams (Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder)
  • Grammy-Nominated vocalist Yaya Diamond (for her work with Walter “Clyde” Orange of The Commodores)
  • Guitarist Dave Scott (Kool & The Gang, Mark Anthony, Gloria Gaynor)
  • Keyboardist Tanmart Selby, who has played with several top acts around Florida.
  • Bassist, Lead Vocalist & Bandleader “Reverend” Barry Nicholson has performed and recorded with several top acts in Los Angeles, Dallas, TX and more.
  • Tanmart (Tan) Selby Keyboards

This band’s live performance is a MUST-SEE! Their high-energy performance features not only originals, but also true-to-the-original cover versions of funk & soul classics from Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, Commodores, Kool & the Gang, Prince, James Brown, Jackson 5, Rick James, Aretha Franklin and much more.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the kind who likes to sit back and watch, enjoying great singers and excellent musicianship – or if you’re the kind who can’t sit still and would rather dance the night away, this incredible group has something for everyone!
