Daria and The Hip Drops: The Maple Leaf 8/11


Searching for some new groove tunes to shake that funk out? Try a little Daria and the Hip Drops, you just might like it. 

Hailing from Tallahassee, Daria Dzurik and her main partner in crime, Graham Robinson, boogied on over to New Orleans with the hopes of cooking up some new musical concoctions. A lethal combination of Daria’s background in vocals and piano, Graham’s abilities on bass and their shared jazz influences, the duo was well on their way to some deadly dance jams. Describing it as “funk and R&B with a little world-inspiration”, Daria’s music aims for both versatility and “dancibility”.

“I want people to be able to sing back,” she said. “I want it to be stuck in your head.”

So, if you’re looking to snag a saucy sample, Daria and her krewe of funky fellows will be at The Maison this Friday night with The Scorseses. Lace up your dancing shoes and head on down!

Forever in Funk,
