More than just a band, The Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown is a rotating supergroup and musical experiment in collaboration, bringing together an ever-changing lineup of funk, soul, rock, and hip hop innovators from across generations. Over the past two decades, the Getdown has united more than 225 musicians from over 180 bands, creating one of the most ambitious funk-fueled projects in modern music.

With contributions from past and present members of Parliament Funkadelic, Fishbone, Earth, Wind & Fire, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane’s Addiction, String Cheese Incident, Ozomatli, Jurassic 5, New Power Generation and more, Volume 3plays like a festival on record, a wild sonic collage of deep funk, towering horns, raw rock riffs, psychedelic textures and eclectic powerhouse vocals.

Crafted from over 100 hours of recording sessions across several years, the album is a journey through groove and imagination, bound together by the spirit of collaboration. 

The cover, designed by visionary artist Jeff Wood, mirrors the kaleidoscopic soundscape within.

In an industry dominated by major labels and rigid formulas, The Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown remains a DIY triumph, driven by passion, community, and an unshakable belief in the power of music. By uniting legends and rising stars alike, free from corporate constraints, the Getdown channels the raw spirit of improvisation while delivering polished, timeless recordings.

“Time to send the kids off to their first day of school. I hope I’ve taught them how to play well with others,” jokes proud founder, producer and ringleader, John Heintz. 

Volume 3 stands as a testament to what can happen when music is made for the pure love of it: wild, adventurous, unfiltered and shared with the world on its own terms.
