Scary Goldings

Scary Goldings is a super fun funk project that's all about groovy instrumental jams with a playful twist. Led by the talented keyboardist Larry Goldings—known for his work in jazz and beyond—and guitarist Ryan Lerman, the group often teams up with killer drummers like Louis Cole or Jack Conte to create infectious tracks that blend retro vibes with modern flair. They've dropped several self-titled albums, like Scary Goldings IV, along with live recordings and quirky singles such as "Tacobell's Canon" and "Louis Cole Sucks (LIVE)," keeping things light-hearted and danceable.

What started as a casual collaboration has evolved into a beloved outfit in the funk scene, with releases that nod to everything from classic soul to humorous takes on everyday life. Their music is perfect for anyone craving upbeat, feel-good grooves without the vocals, and they've built a solid following through their energetic live shows and online presence. If you're into bands like Vulfpeck, Scary Goldings will hit that same sweet spot!
