The DUMBO Gumbo is a collective of Brooklyn, NY based musicians that bringing together a unique mix of Jazz, Funk, Soul & Rock infused sounds.
Formed in 2021 by keyboardist, vocalist and composer Kevin Vertrees, their energetic performances feature the individual talents of the various members through fun, spirited songs.
Our new album is available now.
The group met and started making music together at Superfine in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. At this locally known hub of art and music they crossed paths at bi-weekly jazz jam sessions and their participation in various musical groups.
As the world came out of Covid-19 lockdown, we reunited, initially taking our music outside to the streets and the parks. The public responded and helped us realize that our reuniting brought something to life for us and our audiences.
“This is an invitation to come dance and to play. It’s a celebration to chase those blues away.”
from “We’re the DUMBO Gumbo”
