With roots tracing back to the early ’90s, Pearl’s Cab Ride were born after a chance encounter in a Hull taxi queue – a fusion of two kindred spirits united by their deep love for music. Since that fateful moment, this funk-infused collective has etched its name into the annals of musical history.
Embarking on a funk-fueled journey, gracing stages at festivals and venues across the UK, their infectious energy and talent even caught the attention of the esteemed Acid Jazz label, leaving an indelible mark on their musical trajectory.
After a two-decade hiatus, Pearl’s Cab Ride regrouped in 2015, initially planning a “one-off” reunion. However, it ignited a new chapter for the band that endures to this day. Fuelled by creative passion, the band released their first album “Beat Routes,” which captivated listeners and garnered widespread acclaim.
“Funky doesn’t really cover it … it’s a chocolate-smooth, fluid collection, with sprinkles of soul and sass….” Scout Beck – Yorkshire Times
Sharing the spotlight with esteemed acts like Smoove & Turrell, Flamingods, Hot 8 Brass Band, and 47Soul, Pearl’s Cab Ride has proven time and again that they belong among the funk and soul elite. Their infectious melodies and irresistible rhythms leave audiences craving more, ensuring each performance is an unforgettable experience.
