Harry and The Hit Men
While primarily a Motown band, there is no limit to what Harry & the Hit Men might try the night you catch them. Rooted in the spirit of psychedelic jamming, their music brings to life such classic songs as; Bernadette, Get Ready, Heatwave, Heard It Through the Grapevine and Nowhere to Run. Once they've captured your imagination, half the band becomes a horn section, and proceeds to blow it up. Harry & the Hit Men's focus is to combine the magic of Motown with whirlwind improvisational grooves. Often accompanied by their own lighting designer, and an innovative approach to production, their concerts create a surreal, intoxicating atmosphere. While Harry & the Hit Men are elegant enough to play at your daughter's wedding, you will usually find them entertaining a unique group of dance craves and dead heads. Whatever your needs may be, this band will deliver!
Sun Hop Fat
Sun Hop Fat is a dangerous place to lay your feet to rest. The group's reinterpretation of the Swinging Addis period of Ethiopian music is a cauldron of swell and froth that can only be broken by an upheaval of emerging groove. All these voices, provide a soundscape rich enough to plant a garden in. So much sound. So much foundation. So much travel and change.
Church Marching Band
Church Marching Band is a 13-piece street band hailing from Sonoma County, CA. They are composed of a manifold of misfit multi-instrumentalists, well-versed in a variety of musical stylings. Playing everything from funk to Balkan to Ratatat covers everywhere from house parties to grocery stores to office buildings, Church is an immersive, singular experience to be had.
Driven by jovial hooligani
sm, creative madness, and a desire for a good time, the group formed in January 2012, holding practices in the accordionist's pirate-flag-adorned "Snughouse" cottage in anticipation of their first move. In June 2012 (after a few successful marches around the neighborhood), the local community rallied behind the band's efforts to play Seattle's Honk!Fest, and the virtually unknown band become a hit of Honk. Within a mere 6 months of formation, Church had been selected as The Best of Folk/Acoustic for the North Bay 2012 and garnered a diverse cult following of local music lovers and artists, soccer moms, cool kids, schoolchildren, bros, bohemians, middle aged men with camcorders, hipsters, punks, grandpas, guys dressed up in banana costumes, and homeless people alike. And for every spontaneous performance, Church entices even larger crowds with their badass spirit and tremendous musicality.
