Ghost Funk Orchestra is the creative project of composer and multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum, which has transformed from a solo recording endeavor into a dynamic live band. Their sound is a genre-defying sonic kaleidoscope, heavily influenced by soul, psych rock, salsa, and more. This unique blend has garnered acclaim from notable outlets such as NPR, Bandcamp, KUTX, Brooklyn Vegan, and Earmilk. Over the years, Ghost Funk Orchestra has had the privilege of sharing the stage with artists like Os Mutantes, Grace Potter, Marco Benevento, La Luz, Monophonics, The Nude Party, and The Jack Moves. They have also performed at prestigious festivals including Montreal Jazz, Treefort, Telluride Jazz, Otis Mountain Get Down, and BRIC's NYC Winter Jazz. Local NY blog Post-Trash described their sound as a ‘psych odyssey of traditional sounds delivered in a non-traditional fashion,’ while Bandcamp’s Editorial Director J. Edward Keyes praised the band for exploring a wide range of funk-adjacent genres. With a focus on experimentation and unpredictability, Ghost Funk Orchestra continues to attract audiences from around the world eager to see what they will create next.
