Galactic
Artist Overview
Mixing vintage, down-home New Orleans funk, and R&B with a hip-hop sensibility, Galactic have managed to appeal to traditionalists, new heads, and the jam-band crowd alike. Though Galactic's earlier sound is more straightforward in its appreciation of Crescent City grooves, beginning with 2003's RUCKUS produced by Dan the Automato, the band would directly incorporate elements of rap and turntablism, going on to work with artists such as Lyrics Born, Juvenile, and Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious). Though they've never been a huge presence on the charts, they have a devoted following built on strong musicianship, fearless creativity, and relentless touring.
