20 Grand | 9 Piece Funk Band
20 Grand is a 9-piece funk powerhouse delivering groove-driven performances that are as electrifying as they are unforgettable. Blending influences from hip-hop, jazz, and soul, their sound is layered, dynamic, and unapologetically rooted in one thing above all: the funk.
For over a decade, this diverse and socially conscious collective has been elevating minds and igniting dance floors—bringing their signature energy everywhere from packed wedding celebrations to remote, off-the-grid parties across the lower 48. Wherever they land, 20 Grand creates an experience that’s equal parts music, movement, and connection.
What began as a five-piece instrumental group has evolved into a full-scale funk ensemble, complete with a powerful horn section, driving rhythms, freestyle flow, and standout vocals. With each evolution, the band has expanded its sound while staying true to its core: tight musicianship, bold expression, and a shared love of live performance.
Now nine members strong, 20 Grand brings a rich, high-impact sound that fills the stage and pulls the audience in. Their shows aren’t just something you watch—they’re something you feel.
At Westland, 20 Grand delivers a surge of rhythm, soul, and collective joy—an invitation to let go, move your feet, and let the funk carry you.
