Huntertones is a high-energy, genre-blending band known for their dynamic sound and improvisational prowess. Formed in Columbus, Ohio and now based in Brooklyn, the group features a core lineup of horns, keys, and drums, delivering a mix of jazz, funk, soul, and rock that creates an infectious, feel-good experience. Their music often features lively horn-driven arrangements and a groove-centric foundation, with an emphasis on audience interaction. Huntertones' unique style and collaborative spirit have earned them a dedicated following, and they continue to push musical boundaries with every performance.
Motionation is the seventh release from Huntertones. The LP contains eight new tracks: six new original songs, a soulful rendition of the Steely Dan classic, "Dirty Work" featuring Akie Bermiss (Lake Street Dive), and a spirited revival of the Donnie Hathaway instrumental song "Valdez In The Country". Huntertones’ faithful audience will recognize the signature fluid sound of the horns weaving across seasoned yet full-of-surprise rhythm section grooves, but also sense a new urgency and fresh energy. Motionation is a manifestation of a band with unlimited imagination and an ever growing desire to find new ways to express themselves. The band also recently performed on Kurt Elling and Charlie Hunter’s collaborative album SuperBlue: The Iridescent Spree.
