Tyler Kinchen & The Right PiecesFrom southeast Louisiana, the band brings an energetic style of R&B/Funk that is eclectic and electric, soulful and natural. Their live performance is incomparable with as much high-energy music and physicality as there is intimate soul. Time after time, their show proves to be every bit of New Orleans’ charisma and Southern charm with catchy dance moves, innovative songs and high-flying solos all led by a voice like no other.
