The Breaks

Get ready for a night of deep grooves, soulful improvisation, and high-energy musicianship when The Breaks takes the stage on Thursday, October 8, 2026. Doors open at 7:30 PM, with the show beginning at 8:00 PM. Bringing together three celebrated figures from the modern funk, soul-jazz, and jam scenes, The Breaks promises a live experience built around rhythm, spontaneity, and the chemistry that happens when exceptional musicians share a stage.

The trio features Eddie Roberts, guitarist and founding member of The New Mastersounds; Stanton Moore, the powerhouse drummer from Galactic; and Robert Walter, the acclaimed organist associated with The Greyboy Allstars. Each musician has spent decades helping shape contemporary groove music, and together they create a sound that honors classic funk while pushing it into fresh territory.

The Breaks draws inspiration from the late-1960s tradition of organ trios and hard-driving boogaloo. At the center of the group’s sound is a powerful rhythmic foundation, with Roberts’ crisp and melodic guitar lines weaving through Moore’s explosive, New Orleans-influenced drumming. Walter’s unmistakable Hammond organ adds warmth, grit, and soulful depth, giving the trio its distinctive character.

What makes a Breaks performance particularly exciting is the element of improvisation. Rather than simply reproducing carefully scripted arrangements, the musicians thrive on musical conversation, reacting to one another and allowing grooves to develop naturally. A song can build from a simple rhythmic idea into an extended exploration, giving every performance its own personality.

Between them, the three musicians have toured extensively, recorded influential albums, and collaborated with artists across the worlds of funk, jazz, jam, and soul. Their combined experience is substantial, but The Breaks is ultimately about the chemistry of these three players in the moment.

Audiences can expect a show filled with infectious rhythms, tight grooves, dynamic instrumental interplay, and plenty of opportunities to move with the music. Whether you’re a devoted funk fan, a jazz enthusiast, a jam-band follower, or simply someone who appreciates extraordinary live musicianship, The Breaks offers an experience that is both accessible and musically adventurous.
