Dubbed "Australia's #1 Funk & Soul Band" in Xpress Magazine 2007, Detour draws upon inspiration laid down by the forefathers of Soul such as Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and James Brown; as well as Hip Hop/R&B influences of more recent times including Soulive, The Roots, Tribe Called Quest, and D'Angelo.
Since the conception of the group in 2004 these musicians of unprecedented talent have carved a niche for themselves in the Western Australian music scene with their unique improvisational style. The group have entertained crowds at venues such as Quarry Amphitheatre, Metro City, The Deen, Llama Bar and Universal Bar.
With a repertoire ranging from smooth slow jams to gritty Funk and Hip Hop, a Detour live experience is a feast for the ears and food for the soul. Danny Martin - Vocals Andy Fisenden - Drums Troy Roberts - Sax Roy Martinez - Bass Konrad Paszkudzki - Keys Detour are suitable for weddings, festivals, concerts, corporate events and private functions.
