-North Lake Tahoe’s live-music fans are in for an incredible evening when San Francisco’s funk-fusion outfit Smoked Out Soul brings their signature blend of futuristic DJ production laced with live horns, synth, percussion, drums & guitar.
They will be followed by Canadian drummer/DJ house-dynamo RUMPUS, whose explosive hybrid sets have become a fixture at major festivals and legendary underground parties.
Opening the night is the debut of The Funk Brunch Allstars, a High Sierra-born trio featuring Rambo Party, Funksalot, and Disco Terrorist - each known for deep crates and cosmic funk. For Tahoe locals and visitors alike, this is the can’t-miss mid-winter event: a next-level night of music at the legendary Crystal Bay Club Crown Room on Friday, January 23, 2026.
Smoked Out Soul
Old school taste / new school bass
Smoked Out Soul pays homage to funk’s past and looks to its future. Born out of San Francisco’s Mission district, what began as a club night has evolved into a touring phenomenon featuring live horns, analogue synths, guitar, drums, and a DJ backbone. The sound: Memphis grit meets California sun — dusty records meet computer love — all with a heavy dose of future-disco. They’ve graced festivals such as Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, High Sierra, Lightning in a Bottle and the Joshua Tree Music Festival.
RUMPUS
Live-drumming house music phenom with 10M+ streams.
RUMPUS is flying in from Canada for his Crystal Bay Club premiere. Rumpus has built a reputation for taking house music into live-drum, punk-energy territory, blurring genres and igniting dance floors globally. With Beatport-charting releases, over 10 million streams, and support from major names like Tiësto, John Summit, and Solomun, his shock-wave sets have been featured at festivals from Shambhala to Burning Man. In March 2025, his track Set It Off was featured in Season 3 of HBO’s The White Lotus.
This is a rare chance to see him in an intimate venue setting — bringing full energy, live drumming and high-voltage house.
The Funk Brunch Allstars
Born at High Sierra Music Festival, The Funk Brunch Allstars unite three funk-forward DJs with deep crates and deeper grooves. Their debut as an official trio will kick off the night with a collaborative, soulful musical journey.
Rambo Party
North Lake Tahoe’s intergalactic funk selector, known for festival-level high energy sets at Shambhala, Burning Man, Electric Forest, Lightning in a Bottle, Dirtybird Campout, and more.
Funksalot
Armed with two turntables, ten fingers, and “eleven toes,” Funksalot specializes in deep-bass dance-floor heat drawn from the mothership and beyond.
Disco Terrorist
Funk-born, disco-raised, known for infectious, genre-blending sets (funk, breaks, hip-hop, soul, house, disco). Has supported acts like Fort Knox Five, The Motet, Mark Farina, Slynk, and many others.
