Reverend Barry & The Funk are an 8 piece band from Sarasota, Florida that features a 3-piece horn section and 3 Grammy-Nominated performers. We play originals & covers of horn-oriented funk, soul, R&B & Motown such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, Prince, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Tina Turner, Sly & The Family Stone, Rick James & more. If it’s got that groove that makes yo booty move, we’ll be laying it down all night long!

The band is the brainchild of Barry Nicholson, bassist and lead singer. With the Funk, Barry has always had one vision – a band of real entertainers who would keep people dancing all night long by performing the greatest soul & funk songs ever recorded with a live horn section.
