Returning to live music in 2025, former Fun Lovin’ Criminals’ frontman & guitarist HUEY MORGAN will be touring UK venues this Spring with his brand new band: HUEY MORGAN: THE FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINAL.
His upcoming dates in May will feature a mixture of FLC classics, such as ‘Scooby Snacks’ ‘The Fun Lovin’ Criminals’, ‘King Of New York’, ‘Big Night Out’, ‘Love Unlimited’, ‘Loco’, ‘Couldn’t Get It Right’, along with the promise of new music.
Looking ahead to what promises to be a tour full of funk, soul, hip-hop and memories, Huey said: “After almost 4 years, I’m returning to what I’ve loved all my life; playing cool authentic music for cool authentic people.”
Introducing the line-up for his new band, Huey said: “The guys in the band consist of Mateo DiFontaine, who was one of the original members of Fun Lovin Criminals. He’s on keys, turntables and lap steel guitar. One of my oldest friends and the godfather to my children who is simply called “King” is a singer in the Tangiers Blues Band, a group I founded in the late 1990s as a side gig with some friends in NYC. He’s on bass guitar and wisecracks.
“The new cats are tremendous additions to the vibe we bring to the live shows. Leon James on the trap kit is bringing taste and flavour to my tunes and his energy on the set we’ve been putting together is gonna highlight what a dynamic and stylistic drummer he is.
“On the keys, I looked for someone who had a working knowledge of funk, soul, rock, punk and hip-hop and wasn’t in jail. Adrian Gautrey kept getting recommended to me as a cat who could purr on B3 organ as well as all the other keys that round out the Huey sound. Y’all better respecognise.”

Coming to prominence as the frontman and driving force of the eclectic American Rap/Rock outfit Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Morgan led the band formed in New York City from 1993 – 2021, during which time Fun Lovin’ Criminals released 6 albums between 1996 and 2010 and sold over 10 million records worldwide.
This energy transfers to his live DJ sets which are action-packed and full of classics. Festival goers and afterparty seekers know to expect a reliably raucous time at a Huey Morgan set, as he mixes between anthemic throwbacks and effortlessly cool selections.
