These guys have been a staple at SCamp for some time and Karl Denson himself has guested with many other great musicians over the years.
If you haven’t heard the crazy bass grooves of these guys then you have seriously been missing out! Here is a funky jam of them with Victor Wooten from SCamp 2013!
