The Nalani Effect

Fierce and nuanced, Nalani is a Force of Nature! She carries a room with her versatile and powerfully soulful voice, drives the music with her thumpin’, technical bass, and captures you with an intimate connection to the audience. Schooled in jazz and mentored by some the greatest Bass players of all time, including Victor Wooten (Béla Fleck and the Flektones) and Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon), Nalani brings a unique combination of Skilled Mastery and and utter PLAYFULNESS!

The Nalani Effect band is made of legend, legacy and passion, featuring Regi “The Teacha” Wooten on Guitar/Vocals and Adam Wooten on Drums/Vocals. Regi, the world-renowned Legend, is famous for teaching 5-Time Grammy winning bassist, Victor Wooten, has performed with many legendary artists including Bebe and Cece Winans and Ginger Baker. Recently returned from an Australian tour with The Wooten Brothers, Regi is known for his unparalleled, innovative guitar techniques and inspired mastery of moving an audience. Adam, the Legacy, born into this legendary Wooten family, has carried the tradition of musical mastery since age 3, performing professionally for most of his life with many great artists, including the Late Great Lari White, Muriel Anderson, and Tommy Emmanuel. In addition to his years of musical experience, Adam’s skills as a Division1 Gymnast adds an element of athleticism, strength and drive to his musical performance.

Reggie Wooten

Known as “The Teacha”, Regi Wooten in one of the most innovative, talented and dynamic musicians around the scene, and has pushed the boundaries of jazz, funk, soul, R&B, rock, and even bluegrass to some of the most extreme musical limits. From picking, slapping, strumming, thumping, and tapping to some of the most ear bending advanced chords you’ll hear on any instrument, Regi has earned world-wide notoriety and comparisons to other innovators such as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Chuck Berry. Perfecting, creating and discovering new techniques and jazz theory while incorporating and layering into strong funk grooves for keen listeners to uncover and pick up on is one of his many notable fortes.

At only nine years old Regi started teaching his younger brother Victor Wooten bass guitar and Joseph Wooten keyboards, and soon the Wooten Brothers Band was formed featuring; Regi on ukelele, Roy on drums, Rudy on Saxophone, Joe on Keys and Victor on bass. Regi was ten years old at the time, Roy was nine, Rudy was eight, Joseph was five and Victor was two. The rest, as they say, is Musical History.
