Take a former member of the Rebirth Brass Band, Shamarr Allen, add the drummer from the Neville Brothers, Willie Green, and finally round it off with some of the finest horn players in the crescent city, and you have the New Orleans UnderDawgs.
The sound is intense, funky, full of rock and soul and never sways too far from the traditional styles of the funky sound started in New Orleans. This extraordinarily talented group of musicians have decided to collaborate and put together a sound and live show that is a must see for every fan of funk music.
“We're mixing a lot of styles,” says Allen. “There are elements of hip-hop, overtones of reggae and Latin—but the predominant sound is funky rock. We have lots of improv, and everybody is an exceptionally good soloist.”

They're not afraid of onstage experimentation, either. The horns might use electronic effects, Allen might rap a few verses and, according to Allen, “you're never going to see the same show twice.” The bottom line? “If you like aggressive rock, you'll love this group. But if you love the Meters—you will still love this group.”
