Former Champions

Former Champions are a modern musical ensemble focused on expressing ideas and emotions through sound and words. Targeting to influence and inspire the human spirit with dynamic groove-based compositions, their music has been described through a multitude of genres including Rock, Funk, World-Beat, Live Electronics, and NuJazz. Within this varied genre approach, the music combines tightly composed and adventurous passages with in-the-moment improvisation. Despite the genre bending output, FC does indeed have a sound that is instantly identifiable and unique to themselves. But, their ability to transform and shape this sound to fit the surroundings and setting of each venue is what sets them apart.

Former Champions are progressing at an alarming speed. They have recently shared the stage with several big name artists. This past summer of 2009, FC made its premier appearance into the festival circuit performing at Camp Barefoot, The Muddy River Festival and the Healing Waters Festival. They also continue to enjoy their weekly residency at Cary St Cafe at home in Richmond.
