Combining infectious groove, virtuosic musicianship, and a decades-spanning set of originals and tasteful covers, THIS is the Willamette Valley's newest funk band. Having already shared bills with local and national hitmakers like Polyrhythmics, DTW, Rebirth Brass Band, Soul Vibrator, and others, THIS is hitting the ground running in 2026 with a spate of new music and shows. With influences ranging from Bootsy Collins to Bruno Mars, THIS blends nostalgic dancefloor vibes with modern pop sensibilities in keeping with the bands one rule: "its gotta groove."
