Funk Shui is the Portland, Oregon based six piece funk and rock and roll band comprised of once and future, humble but mighty Treefrogs plus many other superstar players, sit in soloists, and superhero special guests.

Funk Shui formed at an open funk jam at the famous Biddy McGraw’s Irish Pub when it was still on southeast Hawthorne in Portland. Using ninja tactics, and careful sedition, bassist Sean Nowland aka The Shag, launched a bloodless coup with support from drummer Jeff Duffy and front man guitarist/vocalist John Henry Bourke. Using the power of the Bass-Drum-Bass they dismissed the standing army of funk jammers and installed a new government of funk…the era of Funk Shui began.

Two ownerships and two buildings later, the sovereign of Biddy McGraw, the gracious Ian and John, extended the commission of Funk Shui. You can still see them perform every other Friday, and every New Year’s Eve at their new location on 60th & NE Glisan in Portland, Oregon.
