Description

After8 is a fun, entertaining, and tight-sounding group with a style that keeps audiences moving! They take classic Rock, Funk, Hip-hop, and R&B and tastefully combine a modern sound with a powerful horn section. The band covers a wide variety of music, from the 1920's to today's hot hits, while adding their own touch of funk to a high-energy show.

After8 was originally formed in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2003 and has toured all the hot spots throughout Louisiana and the surrounding states. After8 plays a wide variety of shows ranging from wedding receptions to festivals to fundraisers, and private and public events all across the Southern U.S. region.
