Little Brother Project is a four-piece funk
and groove based band from Houston, TX. They are a diverse and talent-driven
group whose live shows include catchy songs as well as skillful improvisation.
With their wide variety of influences touching on so many styles, they create a
welcoming and hip sound that is enjoyed by all.
A typical LBP show consists of a 60/40 spilt
between upbeat, danceable, and emotional instrumentals and the soulful style of
lead singer, Phyve.
“The best part about an LBP show is you never
know what you will get. Sure, it’s all funky and groovy but the communication
between the six of them leads you on an ever-changing journey."
"Great to watch, and even better to listen to,”
says a fan at Deans in downtown Houston,
TX.

Reczek:
Guitar
Marc has been
playing guitar since the age of ten. He was voted one of the top 5 guitarists in
Houston by the Houston Press. Originally from Vermont, he moved to Texas to
attend college and earned a degree in Music Business. His influences come from a
variety of sources including Phish, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Drop Trio,
The Grateful Dead, Medeski Martin and Wood, Slide Five, Alice in Chains and
Umphrey's McGee. His rhythm style is "all in the wrist" Reczek says describing
the clean and percussive approach he takes to writing funk grooves. When
soloing, he strives to make complete sentences. Greg Lizee, an engineer who has
worked with Reczek, sums his playing up by saying "he can shred but doesn't like
to very often. He has a particular
style that evolves within the music. It very interesting. It's the 'feel' of his
playing that makes it distinctive."

Coy
Boazman:
Bass
While
most musicians begin to hone their craft as early as childhood, Coy first picked
up the bass guitar at the end of his senior year in high school. He soon found
himself writing and performing with multiple groups in the Washington D.C. area
where he grew up. Although heavily influenced by the history of funk bass
pioneers such as Bootsy Collins and Larry Graham, Coy prides himself in his
original playing style. In the late 90’s, he relocated to Houston and founded
Bro Sure (who, of course evolved into LBP). He has also enjoyed small stints
with local Houston act French Kiss and Houston mainstay Zwee.
