Named to the Funk N Stuff's Top 25 Funk Albums of 2021 Their debut album World Jamdemic sees renowned Detroit born drummer/producer Muruga Booker team up with Texas "Fire Brand" singer/guitarist Justin James Bridges, to create their approach towards their progressive sound - fusing Rock, Blues, Funk, and Rap music to create their FREE FUNK SOUND. Produced by Muruga and Bridges, the new LP finds DaLight enlisting ex-Parliament Funkadelic guitarist Tony 'Strat' Thomas to lend his psychedelic funk sonics to the project along with David Winans II, of the legendary Detroit gospel family, on bass guitar. Bridges brought in Emiko to WORLD JAMDEMIC where she lent her high-powered Hammond/keyboard virtuosity to the album while Paul VornHagen brings funky horn lines to the jam. WORLD JAMDEMIC explores Booker & Bridges musical histories from the Doors inspired "Key of Life" to more traditional blues/rock with "Fire Burning" and "Paid Your Dues" and diving deep into their Funk roots with "Free Funk Land" and "Might Be Funk to You" -which features the Choir of Da Light, specially put together for WORLD JAMDEMIC by David Winans II. Easy to dance to but not easy to classify BOOKER & BRIDGES DaLight's WORLD JAMDEMIC is a sonic journey into the positive light and sound waves of music, dance, and trance!
