Johnson City, Tennessee based pop-funk fusion band Florencia & the Feeling independently released their debut album, ‘Birthday’ in March 2023 which Vents Magazine called, “pure, unadulterated fun.” With a crowdsourcing campaign that raised over $10,000, and a growing legion of fans, Florencia & the Feeling delivers an amazing live show that has been resonating with music lovers since their conception in April 2021. This quintet has been impressing listeners with their upbeat funky grooves, heartfelt songwriting, soaring 4 part harmonies, and all-around good vibes, culminating in a unique sound with hints of jazz, and Latin roots. 

The five members of the band, Florencia Rusinol (lead vox), Andrew Kramer (guitar), Isaac Ratliff (keys), Nick Castro (bass) & Austin Herron (drums), draw on a myriad of genres from their musical backgrounds – funk, jazz, Nu Soul, jam, pop, indie rock, roots, and more – to create a distinctive blend of musical magic. This fusion has earned the group recognition and esteemed performances, including Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in Tennessee/Virginia, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival in North Carolina, and an opening slot for The Mavericks. Radio Bristol praised the band’s “tight rhythmic jams and groovy guitar riffs,” while the Bristol Herald Courier called their sound “happy music” and “joyful noise,” and went on to say “their songs compel smiles on faces and dancing from feet.” Check out quintet’s tour dates & music on their website, as well as on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or any other music listening platform
