Caviar & Grits with special guests Saturno & The Satellites are taking over Funk ‘n Waffles in Syracuse this April, and the name alone tells you everything about the vibe — this is going to be equal parts luxury and grit, smooth and raw, sophisticated and down-home. Funk, soul, and groove music at its finest.
About the Artists
Caviar & Grits brings a sound that lives at the intersection of funk, soul, R&B, and groove-driven live music. The name captures their ethos perfectly — the elegance of caviar and the soul-food comfort of grits, blended into something that’s both refined and deeply rooted. This is music built on tight rhythms, horn stabs, vocal dynamics, and the kind of stage energy that gets bodies moving from the first note. Saturno & The Satellites join as special guests, adding their own flavor to an evening that promises to be a full-spectrum celebration of groove music. Bills like this, where multiple acts share a vision and a vibe, create evenings that transcend individual performances and become collective experiences. The soul and funk tradition in Central New York is alive and well, and nights like this are the proof.
