Since inception by founding member Timm Walker in 2007, the core unit of BeaufunK has now settled into a lineup of true funk extremists – Frank Acosta (guitar/vocals), Wilson Brooks (drums/vocals), Lorenzo Hawkins (keys), Ric Alexander (from Tony! Toni! Toné! – saxophones/percussion), Timm Walker (bass/vocals). With featured lead vocalist Michael Jeffries (formerly of Tower of Power), the group delivers a powerful funk punch. The name BeaufunK has become synonymous with the funkiest in the Bay Area and beyond. This unit is known to bring crowds to their feet and out onto the dance floor, where they tend to remain.

Fire on the Bayou Lyrics
Fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou
Down in New Orleans, in Lucky’s din
He wouldn’t deal y’all for a 5th of gin
One dude wanted a bottle of wine
Hit that dude yes he did up for a dollar and a dime
Fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou
Take a little toke on your smoke
Buy yourself a bottle of wine
Cool, cool wine going down your throat
Don’t try and tell me don’t make you feel fine
Fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou
I got a nickel now, you got a dime
Let’s get together and have a good time
Goin’ to buy a fifth, going to buy a joint
When you gettin’ down now, you doin’ things right”
“I got swamp water runnin’ through my veins
The Mississippi River can’t be tamed
I pole my pirogue in the middle of the night
I’m an uptown ruler, I can do it right”
