Cool Cool Cool is a vibrant funk and soul ensemble that emerged in 2022, comprising seven former members of the band Turkuaz. Their formation marked a new chapter, allowing each member to have equal creative input and fostering a collaborative environment.
The band’s lineup features vocalists Shira Elias and Sammi Garett, guitarist and keyboardist Craig Brodhead, drummer Michelangelo Carubba, and a dynamic horn section with Chris Brouwers (trumpet, keys), Greg Sanderson (tenor sax), and Josh Schwartz (baritone sax, vocals). Their chemistry, honed over years of performing together, translates into electrifying live performances.
In addition to their own shows, Cool Cool Cool has collaborated with Talking Heads legends Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew on the “Remain in Light” tour, bringing a fresh energy to the classic album’s live renditions.
Their debut single, “Never Noticed,” released in late 2023, showcases their signature blend of funk and R&B, marking their transition from live performances to recorded music.
Beyond the band, members engage in various musical endeavors: Elias and Garett pursue solo projects, Brouwers, Sanderson, and Schwartz perform as The Horn Section, and Carubba and Brodhead tour with the Ryan Montbleau Band.
With plans for new releases and international tours in 2025, Cool Cool Cool continues to captivate audiences with their soulful grooves and collaborative spirit.
