Flow Tribe

Flow Tribe’s upbeat funk/soul anthem “Keep Pushing” spreads a message of resilience. Formed in 2004 after Hurricane Katrina, the band has spent 15 years performing over 120 shows annually, from festival stages to dive bars, driven by New Orleans’ rich musical traditions. Their 2017 album “BOSS,” produced by Mannie Fresh, hit #58 on Billboard’s R&B chart and led them to build their own studio, Downman Sounds. Their latest single, “Keep Pushing,” featuring Ivan Neville, showcases their full creative control and matured sound. Relix Magazine calls their music “bizarrely irresistible,” capturing their relentless groove and determination.
