OCS Entertainment, LLC presents
A Nickel Bag of Funk
Based out of Savannah,GA this hard working band is funk infused with mixes of R&B, Hip Hop, Rock and Soul. It is truly an eclectic musical experience that gets the crowd going and makes the audience demand more. What is consistent about this band throughout the years is its musicianship. It does not matter if it's a three piece or ten piece, this band always out performs.
Lead vocalist and founder Leslie Adele is a powerhouse. She presents powerful vocals and emotional performances. Whether it's a cover song or one of their originals,you are going to get the best out of Leslie and these talented musicians no matter what! With Adele at the helm, this funk outfit is poised for even more national attention.
The conception of `A Nickel Bag of Funk happened on a wing and a dare on July 4th, 2005. Leslie who was a waitress at the time at the North Beach Grill in Tybee Island,GA was dared to go on stage and sing with the band performing that night. Never being one to back down Leslie jumped up and belted out “Superstitious” by Stevie Wonder. She finished that night with double tips and motivation to start a band of her own.
The immediate future for A Nickel Bag of Funk is to keep touring and performing. Averaging over 200 performances per year. This is truly the busiest little band in the South East. With the release of their first full length album Melodic Schizophrenic, they have a solid collection of original music that reflects the band’s musical voice as well as their array of talent. What started out as the shear unwillingness of Adele to pick a genre to stay in, has turned into the audible ethos of these Savannah natives. Awe inspiring and aggressive drum grooves combined with Adele's raw vocals and LaBelle-esque stage presence has set the much anticipated scene for this first offering of original material.
Features and Mentions
A Nickel Bag of Funk has been voted Savannah’s Best R&B/Funk Band for 2007-2016 consecutively by the Connect Savannah Reader’s Poll. Breaking the streak only in 2009 for Leslie to take family leave and eventually withdrawing from contention to make room for new artists in the area.

Band,B.O.B.,Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue,Biz Markie,Tank,Slick Rick, Dru Hill, Avant, Marsha Ambrosius and many more.
