Martin Luther McCoy: The Funk That Stole Christmas
Martin Luther McCoy is a visionary soul singer who blends traditional jazz, funk, rock, and soul music into a fluid, electrifying sound. His vibe is a liquid-cooled, versatile funk. His powerful voice has led him to perform as the frontman for SFJAZZ Collective and The Roots and was recently featured at Mt. Tamalpais Sound Summit’s tribute to Sly and the Family Stone. Back at Black Cat SF for The Funk That Stole Christmas is Martin and his electric band. He is perhaps best known for his breakout role as a Jimi Hendrix-inspired character in the acclaimed film Across the Universe (Sony/Columbia), directed by Julie Taymor. His collaborations with dance music innovator Miguel Migs have also garnered international attention; their latest track, “Keep on Dreaming,” was released earlier this year on Salted Music.
