Track Suit Mafia is Atlanta’s homegrown all-star funk outfit.
The group formed in 2017 when a collective of Atlanta’s busiest musicians, after years of playing other people’s music, decided to write music of
their own.
The Mafia is made up of
Umcolisi Terrell - Saxophone
Justin Powell - Trumpet
Richard Sherrington- Trombone
Emmanuel Smith - Keyboards
Patrick Arthur - Guitar
Kelly McCarty - Bass
Kevin Leon - Drums
They have played with a wide range of artists, including:
St. Paul & The Broken Bones • The Floozies • Larkin Poe • Ripe
Noel Gallagher • JJ Grey and Mofro • String Cheese Incident • Angie Stone
. . . and many others.
Their original material draws influence from artists like Lettuce, Roy Hargrove, Fela Kuti, J Dilla, and Butcher Brown while maintaining an eclectic sound that’s all their own.
