“The only constant in life is change.” \u2014 Heraclitus of Ephesus (c. 535 BC \u2013 475 BC)<\/p>\n
We have some big news for all friends and fans of Yo Mama\u2019s Big Fat Booty Band!<\/p>\n
As we enter into 2025, the band will be approaching 23 years since it\u2019s inception. We have travelled all over the US, playing 49 out of 50 states and almost every major city on the map. We have recorded music that we are very proud of. We have played thousands of shows. We have made friends all across the planet that we still hold very dear to our hearts. We even managed to pick up a Grammy amidst all the craziness!<\/p>\n
Two band members that have been instrumental in continuing the legacy of the Booty Band are Mary Frances aka \u201cMama Funk\u201d and Lee Allen aka \u201cInsta-Funk.\u201d When we met them, they played as a duo known as Eymarel. We fell in love with Lee and Mary as musicians and as friends. We often talked about how cool it would be to integrate them into the band. Then one day they moved to Asheville, we had some changes in the lineup, they joined the band, and the rest is history.<\/p>\n
We wouldn\u2019t be what we are today without their contributions and it\u2019s been a pleasure writing and performing music alongside these two for the last 15+ years. At this point, Lee and Mary, along with Booty Band saxophonist Jonathan Cole, will be shifting their focus to their new amazing project ElectroLust. We fully support them in this endeavor and encourage all Booty Band fans to check out their new project, as we have high hopes for this group. This doesn\u2019t mean the end to collaborations between all of us. Be on the lookout for special guest sit in performances of some of the band\u2019s (and fans\u2019) favorite tunes at select shows.<\/p>\n
When one door closes, another door opens!<\/p>\n
That being said, we have some very exciting additions to the band. We are proud to announce that we will be bringing back original Booty Band members Josh Phillips (vocals\/guitar\/percussion) and Greg \u201cGregbob\u201d Hollowell (saxophones) along with the new addition of Patrick Armitage on drums.<\/p>\n
We are super excited about this new\/old lineup! Expect to hear some of the classic tunes from the early era, expect to hear some brand new music, expect more live shows and a whole new phase of that same great Funk music that we have been delivering for over two decades.<\/p>\n
Big shout out to all the friends, family, and fans that have supported our booties through thick and thin. Cheers to 23 years, and many more to come!
\n-JP Miller (guitarist and founding member)<\/p>\n

Fun, eclectic folk rock. Fronted by the deliciously androgynous duo Arrie Bozeman and Barb Carbon, the Aints deliver high-energy performances of their wildly diverse original music. Joined by the hardest working men in rock n Roll, Richie Jones on the Boom Chick thwackita whackita, and Justin Boudreau, aka BooDreamy, masterfully holding down the rhythm section and making everybody swoon with their gorgeous licks. Think Indigo Girls meets Dream Theater but with a little Birdcloud in the mix.<\/p>\n
