Sat 9-9:30pm Telekinetic Walrus is a distinct fusion of Atlanta Hip-Hop, booty-bouncing Miami Bass, and futuristic shamanic funk.

Boasting a mean roster, Telekinetic Walrus is comprised of Y Diz, The Time-Zoo Keeper, Parker, Corinne Stevie, Komakozie, Buffalo, and Fawn 5000. Since the group’s origin, Telekinetic Walrus has found a niche in producing sophisticated music, art, and entertainment events that bring together a notably diverse cross-section of South Florida’s population.
