Backstory:
Formed in the vibrant streets of Austin, Texas, Gorgeous Funding is a quirky, energetic group that got its start in 2014. The band was formed by childhood friends, drummer Tommy ‘Twister’ Jenkins and lead guitarist/vocalist Jake ‘Jubilee’ Johnson when they were just in their early twenties. They were later joined by bassist Maddie ‘Madd Hatter’ Hatfield and keyboardist ‘Silky’ Sam Ford. The band’s unique name, Gorgeous Funding, was a result of a sarcastic comment made by Tommy regarding the lack of funding they had when they first started out. They decided to keep the name as a reminder of their humble beginnings and their journey towards success in the music industry.

The band quickly found success on the local scene, and their popularity has only continued to grow. Their charismatic stage presence, coupled with the raw talent of each band member, has garnered them a loyal fanbase that stretches far beyond the city limits of Austin.
