The B-Side Players make music without borders—an infectious, genre-bending blend that pulls from the grooves of Latin America and the Caribbean while staying rooted in the funk, rock, jazz, and hip-hop rhythms of their Southern California home. Since forming in 1994, the band has crafted its own signature “global funk,” effortlessly weaving influences from places like Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, and Brazil into a forward-looking, Latin-flavored future-funk that’s equal parts soul, swagger, and celebration.
Known for incendiary live shows that turn crowds into communities, The B-Side Players pair dance-floor heat with an uplifting message of unity and brotherhood—music designed to move bodies and bring people together. With a deep catalog (including their release Revolutionize) and a reputation as hometown heroes and beyond—plus multiple San Diego Music Award wins—the band delivers a live experience that feels like a party, a protest, and a joyful revolution all at once.
