FUNK SOUL COLLECTIVE
Outer Orbit is a funk-soul collective led by Galen Clark (Trio Subtonic, Sleater Kinney) and fronted by vocalist Sarah Clarke (Dirty Revival, Con Brio). The band features an all-star lineup of Tyrone Hendrix (Prince, Allen Stone), Damian Erskine (Skerik Band), Peter Knudsen (Ghost-note, greaterkind) and Mike Elson (Swatkins and the Positive Agenda). Coming fresh off of their freshman self-titled album release, featuring artists like John Medeski, Nicholas Semrad (Cory Henry), and Saeeda Wright (Prince, Liv Warfield) the band has been making a name for themselves despite the pandemic, exploding onto the live music scene playing Waterfront Blues Festival and Jam Revival. Outer Orbit brings original burning soul and pocket-heavy funk while drawing on a range of influences from Sly Stone and The Meters to Aretha Franklin and Emily King.
