Formed over two decades ago, the funk six-piece The Motet have learned to work as an interlocking unit, with each member bolstering one another towards the best creative output. This symbiosis has led to a unique style and cohesive musical chemistry, as seen in the band's immaculate live performances and seamless blend of funk, soul, jazz, and rock. With a fervent fanbase in tow, The Motet have sold out shows across the nation, performed six headlining slots at Red Rocks and sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bottlerock, Electric Forest, Bumbershoot, Summer Camp, and High Sierra.

Excited to announce that LOVE TIME, The Motet’s 10th studio album, and our first album with Sarah Clarke, will be out November 15th!

To celebrate we have a new single out today, “Job Site”.

Job Site is essentially an ode to the feeling of relief that music provides amidst life’s troubles. Whether you’re the maker or the listener, and whether you’re at a show or home with your headphones, we’ve all experienced the moment when the right song at the right time can lift a weight off your chest and crack your heart wide open.
 
This life on the road has its share of ups and downs but I consider myself blessed that my ‘Job Site’ is creating music with my friends. -Jalbert
