Cissy Street burst onto the jazz-funk scene in 2017 with their self-titled debut album and have since established themselves as a key figure in the genre. Under the direction of guitarist and composer Francis Larue, the band draws inspiration from the sharp rhythms of Tower of Power, the raw energy of James Brown, the irresistible grooves of The Meters, as well as the jazz-funk explorations of Herbie Hancock and Roy Hargrove, with a hint of rock ‘n roll that gives their music a unique intensity.

With nearly 3 million streams on Spotify and fans spread across the globe, Cissy Street has not only won over genre enthusiasts but also captivates a wide and diverse audience. The band has already ignited numerous festivals, delivering performances where groove, improvisation, and virtuosity take center stage. Their music dives “into the heart of a hypnotic groove, blending explosive funk, jubilant solos, and ear-catching melodies,” as described by Dragon Jazz.
