New single today! #beattoeat link in the bio... "Beat to Eat" refers to hitting a drum to make a living, a metaphor for any physical labor (note the intro sounds of construction). Originally teacher and student, Shannon Powell and Darren Hoffman are now the guitar/drum duo Uncle Nef. Powell, aka "The King of Tremé," has been drumming professionally since age 10 and is well regarded as one of the greatest in New Orleans music history. Hoffman took this life lesson of discipline to heart and wrote the main riff for Powell to sing his story. #mixed by Devin Hoffman ( @dysplaymusic ) #mastered by David Farrell #vocals by #topsychapmanandsolidharmony , #horns by @morganguerin_ #organ by @paullongstreth #drum #guitar #funk #funkopop #blues #groove (at The 100 Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmp31d3nRIX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t8qrocd14log
