Bands that stay together are incredibly rare these days. The demands of the musical life are such that—too often—players are called from artist to artist and gig to gig. When a band’s lineup is measured in decades, you get the unparalleled feel that comes from great musicians working together to create music worth listening to and showing up for.
We are super proud to be one of the few musical organizations on today’s scene that operate like bands have in the past. Many of us have played together for more than 20 years: finding the perfect balance between great ideas and the authentically live performance of those ideas.
When you experience that, what emerges is a natural breathing of tempo and an awesome interplay of musicianship—all created on the cusp of the moment. It is truly the musical experience of a lifetime.
It is, in fact: Actual magic.
