Maria “Songbird” Remos, vocalist with Afro-funk band Good Foot, is parting ways with the band after a blow-out performance today, in advance of a move to Portland, Ore.

She isn’t leaving Honolulu until June, but Remos, an independent musician and DJ in her own right, has some musical loose ends to wrap up. She has a few song recordings in the works, including tracks with Good Foot, she said, and she hopes to release them as “a nice final chapter in Hawaii.”

She’ll continue to host Motown on Mondays, 9 p.m. onward at the Dragon Upstairs. Wednesday and each third Wednesday of the month between 6 and 9 p.m., hear her sing through the segues for Sundown Sounds at The Surfjack Hotel in Waikiki, as she DJs jazz, soul, bossa nova, beat, instrumental and Hawaiian music.

Good Foot refers to Remos as a “superstar singer ” and “cowbell master.” She’s a soulful, sly vocalist who accentuates the band’s propulsive, world-beat energy, contributing percussion — not only cowbell, but also congas and chekere (a West African instrument made by wrapping a gourd with beads).

She describes her recording project with Good Foot, a song called “Do It Every Time,” as a “super-fun, full-funk track, with mean breaks and awesome percussion and drums, the driving bass you want. So it’s really good dance stuff.”

“I think it’s a really dynamic sound coming out of Hawaii that’s not really heard anywhere else,” she said. The description also applies to the band’s live performances with her.

“We’re going to debut the song, and I’m going to sing my heart out,” she said.

Good Foot will continue rocking the soul, funk and Afrobeat grooves, playing original music and classics. The band will be seeking a new vocalist, and in the interim Remos will appear as a special guest at selected shows.

The band often appears at locations across Oahu, including Anna O’Brien’s; Surfer, the Bar; and Downbeat Lounge. Among the gigs already slotted: Hallowbaloo in Chinatown on Oct. 29 and the Surfrider Foundation’s John Kelly Awards in Waimea Valley on Nov. 12.

“It was a challenge to be able to bring the grit and soul — dirty soul,” Remos said, that Good Foot requires. “Now it’s time to move on to the next challenge.”
