Since the fall of 2024, Mattie Silks has been bringing high-energy funk and soul to audiences across Colorado. Originally formed by Colin Boyle as the house band for a monthly funk jam, the group quickly evolved into a dynamic six-piece ensemble featuring Adam Stone, Carly Stone, Jake Smylie, Joel Ackerman, and Tim Schuett.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Grant Green, The Meters, Bill Withers, and Curtis Mayfield, Mattie Silks blends tight grooves, soulful vocals, and infectious rhythms into lively performances built for dancing. From deep funk instrumentals to classic soul-infused jams, the band delivers a feel-good live show guaranteed to get the crowd moving.
