The Sound
NuTown’s signature sound is a bold fusion of vintage grit and modern textures. Slick yet soulful, spontaneous yet immaculately crafted. Think Marvin Gaye meets Anderson .Paak. Stevie Wonder jamming alongside the latest R&B innovators. With every note they honour the integrity of old-school legends while pushing the boundaries of the future. Their setlist journeys through decades of Motown, Funk, and R&B greatness: from Marvin, Stevie, Curtis and The Temptations, to Ne-Yo, Jill Scott, Daniel Caesar and Childish Gambino—each song reimagined with striking originality, deep grooves, lush samples, and clever mashups. Whether channeling the smooth seduction of Smokey Robinson, James Brown’s primal force, or reworking today’s biggest anthems, NuTown reinvents soul with bite, turning classics into shimmering, contemporary masterpieces fuelled with funk-laced fire and a style that’s raw yet refined—designed to move every generation..
The Musicians
Born from London’s elite session scene, each member of NuTown is a master of tone, timing, and taste. At the forefront is a magnetic frontman whose voice, a rich amber hue of depth and dynamism, delivers velvet punch to every note, from seductive soul to high-octane funk. He commands the stage with effortless power and electrifying edge.
Behind him, the band gets down with a groove that’s both impeccably tight and gloriously expansive: Killer basslines that throb like a heartbeat. Slick guitar licks that glide and sting with purpose. Drums locked right in the pocket. And a blazing trumpet that takes the energy to new heights. Together, they weave lush backing vocals into rich, layered harmonies that lift every arrangement.
Their connection is palpable—electric, almost telepathic. What sets NuTown apart is their fearless approach to live performance and deep musical intuition. Masters of improvisation, they sense the vibe and adjust their sonic palette in real-time, creating build-ups that turn passive listeners into ecstatic participants.
Each performance travels from a 1960s Detroit basement to futuristic groove havens. From intimate jazz-club whispers to full-throttle funk explosions, they move effortlessly through soul, neo-soul, R&B, and beyond—bridging eras and breaking boundaries.
