SUPER-KREWE: Seattle's very own New Orleans-styled brass band, comprised of seasoned Seattle-based musicians who have performed together for over 15 years. The "Krewe" aims to explore the rhythmic and melodic realms of pocket, groove, and space while paying homage to NOLA second-line traditions and street performance party vibes reminiscent of late-night memories of the French Quarter.
One can expect to hear performances of original music in addition to hand-selected covers/standards ranging from early 1920s traditional jazz to 1960s soul and funk, modern pop, rock, and electronic music. Though their original music is not genre-specific, it is heavily rooted in the improvisational traditions of New Orleans music AKA Jazz. The band platform acts as a melting pot for the "Krewe" to bring together their collective musical ideas, experiences, and energy to assemble new and familiar sounds, textures, and feelings into music that inspires us all to celebrate the one life we've all got to live. Honk hard, play hard.
The "Krewe" boasts a line-up of veteran road-dogs with experience working on the national and international music scenes, having performed with artists such as Macklemore, Odesza, Allen Stone, Father John Misty, Lauryn Hill, March Fourth Marching Band, The Seattle Symphony, Monophonics, Clinton Fearon, Dusty 45's, True Loves, Polyrhythmics, Tubaluba, Mudsharks and the Seattle Sounder's "Sound Wave" (among so many others).
