The Nu Classics
The sound and arrangements of the Nu Classics bring a fresh twist to a traditional formula that will hit you like Déjà Vu. This funk/soul trio made up of Eric Imbrosciano on drums, Walter Hannah on organ and bass keys, and Devon Parker on vocals. The project first got together as an instrumental duo in the fall of 2008, with Devon joining the group in July 2009. Eric previously toured the east coast with well-known bands such as Peter Prince & Moon Boot Lover, The Sam Kininger Band, Lynch and others. Walter plays with some of Northern Colorado’s best musical talent in groups such as The Grippe, Juno What?!, and Euforquestra. This project is Devon’s debut as a front woman, but she formerly sang back up vocals for the reggae/ska band The Ten Timers and opened for Toots and Maytals, the English Beat, Groundation and others. Since their formation, the Nu Classic’s have shared the stage with The Motet, John Medeski, Will Bernard and Stanton Moore. Their sound draws from classic funk and R&B while infusing the styles of modern hip hop and neo-soul artists such as J-Dilla and Erykah Badu. With intelligent arrangements accompanied by sultry vocals, this group has the dynamic versatility to rock a room or serenade you through your dinner.
