Lance Ferguson (Bamboos) Trunk of Funk

Trunk of Funk is in the hands of Lance Ferguson, the creative force behind Australian funk and soul heavyweights The Bamboos.

This week’s Trunk of Funk is in the hands of Lance Ferguson, the creative force behind Australian funk and soul heavyweights The Bamboos. A guitarist, producer, and bandleader with groove running through his veins, Lance has spent over two decades crafting a signature sound that blends deep funk, raw soul, and sharp modern production.

In this exclusive 30-minute Trunk of Funk mix, he digs into the tracks that shaped his sound, from vintage funk and jazz grooves to the contemporary cuts that keep him inspired. Expect heavy rhythms, tight arrangements, and the kind of soul power that defines The Bamboos’ unmistakable sound.
