About Sly-Chi

Bands of this kind of construction are usually so loose as to invite criticism from music nerds looking for flaws, but there is pedigree and history here enough to impress both the casual good-time seeker and the exacting fan of well played instruments.

Sly-Chi [chee], from Portland, Maine, defies your standard musical genres. It takes more than a word to describe their style. There’s funk, soul, a little R&B - all with an underlying jazz edge. Throw in the classic rock and you’re pleasantly confused. This unique combination - along with the sheer size of the band - creates an unmistakable energy. The group has horns, 4 singers, and a super-tight rhythm section to support all that sound. They pack dance floors much like the bands they’re often compared to - Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, Brand New Heavies. Just ask their devoted fans. The group’s been around since 1999 and has a huge following in Maine. And with a number of out-of-state shows in recent years, their fan base has grown. Add to that their 2004-released debut CD, Wave Sound, which hit the charts in Maine and New Hampshire, as well as a record-breaking number of wins in the Portland Phoenix’s annual Best Music Poll, and you’ve got a group that’s only scratched the surface of its success.
