MARK STOFFEL
“Barnyard Funk”
DESCRIPTION:
“Barnyard Funk” highlights Mark Stoffel’s talent for composing and playing. The tune insinuates itself into the listener’s memory. It echos generations of simmering soul classics and bluegrass favorites in a distinctive blend. Stoffel was exposed to soul and disco music through his dad at a young age. It must have rubbed off. You can definitely hear it in this funky little piece.
