The Beagles with Joy & Their DiscoFunk Machine bring a powerhouse blend of soul, rock, and funk that hits hard and heals deep. Fronted by gospel-rooted vocalist Joy Okoye and anchored by songwriter/guitarist Rob Freeman, the band ignites the stage with groove-soaked originals and 70s-era disco-funk jams. Their new album Soul on Fire (Love Songs for Grown Ups) fuses gospel, blues, and modern soul into anthems that lift crowds to their feet and remind us what live music can do.
For RainbowMoon, the Beagles are expanding into a full DiscoFunk Machineβa super-squad of local legends and guest stars.
