As they celebrate their 10th anniversary, Brother Strut is gearing up for their return to the road, with a UK tour culminating in a performance at the legendary KOKO for the third time.
Brother Strut will be playing all the fans favourite songs from the past 10 years, plus dropping in a few more surprises with some special guests joining them on stage too
Brother Strut, the critically acclaimed funk and soul band, is a collective of musicians who have accumulated over half-a-billion sales in their individual music careers. From performing with icons like Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder to Sting and Amy Winehouse, these talented musicians have honed their skills on the world's biggest stages.
Founded by Stevie Jones, Brother Strut took the world with storm with their electrifying live performances and DIY approach with marketing. With only an iPhone and some Facebook ads, the band sold out KOKO twice in just two years, establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned within the music industry.
Composed of two members of Jamiroquai and some of finest and funkiest musicians around, Brother Strut includes Paul Turner (bass), Frankie Tontoh (drums), Rob Harris ( guitar), Sam Tanner (keys/ lead vocals), Karl Vanden Bossche (percussion), and founder Stevie Jones (saxophone/ keys).
Gaining notoriety for their "barnstorming" sets, Brother Strut's passion for live music has earned them a devoted following who seek real music in an increasingly corporate industry. The band's upcoming album, featuring guests Cory Wong, Elkie Brooks, and John Thirkell is set to drop throughout 2023.

Brother Strut Biography
As individuals they have performed on records that have accumulated over half-a-billion sales, as a collective they form Brother Strut; the critically acclaimed funk and soul band. “You will wait a very long time indeed to see anything better, I can’t think who can top this”says Blues and Soul Magazine, awarding their debut album an astonishing 10/10.
The general public responded to their first album with similar enthusiasm and it entered the UK iTunes chart at number 2. Subsequent recording deals in the USA, Italy, South Africa, South East Asia and Australia followed. Whilst the band also featured in the top ten of the album charts in the UK and Italy, Craig Charles play listed it on his award-winning BBC6 Music, Funk and Soul Show.
Producer and sax player Stevie Jones assembled the bunch back in 2012, shunning the manufactured ‘X-Factor generation’s’ pursuit of fame at any cost.
However, Brother Strut are far from just a recording studio band; From Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Madonna to Sting, George Michael, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner to name but a few, Brother Strut’s members honed their prodigious talents on some of the world’s most prestigious stages alongside an array of music’s most cherished icons.
Indeed, the stage remains the band’s spiritual home. Peerless showmen as well as musicians, Brother Strut pride themselves on their ability to deliver unparalleled live shows. Composed of some of the finest and funkiest musicians around, Brother Strut includes Paul Turner (bass), Frankie Tontoh (drums), Otha Smith (electric guitar), Sam Tanner (keys/lead vocals), Karl Vanden Bossche (percussion) and Stevie Jones (saxophone/keys).
As Saxophonist and producer Stevie Jones notes, Brother Strut are focused on delivering exceptional live performances of “awe-inspiring” quality and their unswerving dedication to this ethos has been the catalyst behind the band’s success.
Taking their album on the road, three spectacular sell-out tours followed. Gaining notoriety for their ‘barnstorming’ sets, Brother Strut’s passion for live music has endeared them to an audience who seek real music amidst the music industries increasingly corporate soul.
To this end, the band release their music through their own label Brother Strut Records. With their freedom intact, Brother Strut only take directions from their inspirations: funk, blues, American soul music of the 1960’s and ‘70’s and stunning live music.
