More details:
NEW MONSOON:
San Francisco rock quintet New Monsoon is the collaborative vehicle for the vocal and instrumental prowess of founding members Bo Carper (acoustic guitar and banjo), Jeff Miller (electric guitar) and Phil Ferlino (keys). Now well into its second decade of national touring, the band also features the muscular young rhythm section of Marshall Harrell (electric bass) and Michael Pinkham (drums). New Monsoon's exhilarating blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation shines in an irresistible blend of sophisticated song craft, inventive musical exploration and down home rock-n-roll.
"They have a collective power that comes off as a real unified force on stage.. It's not just a band, you know? It's something transcendental." Michael Shrieve (original drummer, Santana)
New Monsoon is currently touring behind two albums. The latest studio album, New Monsoon V, was produced by long time Grateful Dead sound engineer John Cutler; while New Monsoon Live is the first release to feature the current rhythm section on tunes from all eras of the band's deep catalog.
Miller and Ferlino have also recently formed a supergroup collective, The Contribution, along with Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth) and String Cheese Incident members Jason Hann and Keith Moseley. SCI Fidelity Records released Which Way World, The Contribution's inaugural album, in March 2010. Carper performs as a solo act and as half of the duo, Bo & Lebo, with Dan Lebowitz of ALO.
"[New Monsoon is]one of the best jam bands to come out of Marin County."
Paul Liberatore, Marin IJ 2009
CAST OF CLOWNS:
"[Cast of Clowns is ] a new jam band supergroupWhether they're jamming a Garcia or Grateful Dead tune or one of Wright's own, the result is a transformation of silver into dance jam gold." --Eugene Weekly 2008
Cast of Clowns was founded by Craig Wright (Redemption Center, Elijah) & Greg Anton (Zero, Heart of Gold). The band will include Melvin Seals (famed organist of The Jerry Garcia Band who has also played with Chuck Berry & Elvin Bishop) and Bobby Vega (Jerry Garcia, Santana, Jefferson Starship, Tower of Power).
Cast of Clowns songs are written by Craig Wright, Greg Anton and Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead).
"the Cast of Clowns fun machine consists of psychedelic tricksters who helped create the jamband world as well as emerging voices of what's to come."
