Funk Squad from Jackson, MS featuring the talented musicians that also feature in Compozitionz, Watermelon Slim, and The Sal-Tines.

Born in the Steel City but grew up in Jackson, Mississippi where being diverse was the best way to stand out. Yargates was a powerhouse guitarist in Jackson before moving to Austin, Texas in 2014. He previously lived in Austin (2007) where he attended college after living a year abroad in New York City (2006). Yargates has been in several bands on several different instruments. Drummer in a punk band to a mandolin player in a bluegrass group. Since going solo Yargates has remained high on local charts and has toured Europe and parts of Canada. With idols like Beck, Prince and Jimi Hendrix, Yargates has a little something for everyone.

The Sal-Tines do instrumental music to keep you listening AND moving with a funky mashup-driven jam band with a pop sensibility and a fusion jones.
