Ghost-Note funks up KUVO’s YouTube, Twitch
Breakout funk-fusion band Ghost-Note dropped by KUVO's Masterpiece Studio during their recent tour stop in Denver. The video of the session drops this Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 11 a.m. on KUVO’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
Referring to their third LP “Mustard n’Onions,” drummer-keyboardist Robert Sput Searight said, “I feel like mustard stinks. I feel like onions stink. You put the two of them together … it’s just funky.” Searight is co-founder and co-producer of groove titans Ghost-Note alongside percussionist Nate Werth.
“Mustard n’Onions” marks their first new album in six years and debut for Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group — further Ghost-Note’s mission to provide rhythm-hungry crowds with, per Sput, “a mind-blowing healing sensation.” They bring supremely danceable goods.
The Ghost-Note ensemble is maturing and solidifying and finding an identity. These days, Sput explains, their sound reflects the firmed-up character of a unit whose “camaraderie and chemistry” have accrued over countless gigs. What’s more, nearly every band member has at least one writing credit on Mustard n’Onions. Sput remains Ghost-Note’s primary writer and de facto musical director, but he’s now shaping his music for and with his bandmates.
