Jelly Bread: Desert funk from deep inside Reno

Jelly Bread | Ashley Robison

Desert Funk

Jelly Bread is a longtime Reno–Tahoe favorite. This nationally touring, powerhouse quintet always delivers a high-energy, chameleonic playlist with a distinct style that blends desert twang with urban tones of funk and rock. True-to-life songwriting interlaced with four–part harmonies, in-the-pocket drum and bass grooves, swampy lap steel guitar, dirt–under–the–fingernails hot licks, tasty talk box and take-’em-to-church organ form a sound that’s all their own. Jelly Bread performs on Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. for Music in the Park at Tahoe Paradise Park in Meyers. Bring your dancing shoes. | jellybread.net
