DIRK QUINN BAND “While it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what Quinn’s appeal is, because both the musician and the music have so many endearing qualities, our best guess is that it’s partially his scruffy, approachable appearance and funky jazz melodies, but that more importantly, his audience can see and hear the passion that he pours into every note he plays. His honesty and raw enthusiasm are also evident in one of his main musical styles: improvisation.” http://dirkquinn.com/ A LOVE ELECTRIC (featuring Todd Clouser) Ropeadope Records Artist Todd Clouser brings his exhilarating modern groove and 70's era electric jazz based quartet, A Love Electric, to Philadelphia. With tours of Latin America and the US behind them, working with artists from Dj Logic to Steven Bernstein (Sex Mob) and summer dates in Europe, Todd and A Love Electric have rapidly established themselves as an original and passionate voice on the modern music scene, performing what has been termed everything from "energy driven jazz rock" to "a catchy amalgam of retro soul and jazz-rock experimentalism..Jazz Times, April 2011". With comparisons ranging from Marc Ribot, Herbie Hancock, Medeski Martin and Wood, and Mahavishnu Orchestra, A Love Electric shows are taking hold across the creative music scene as energy-laden performances not to be missed. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Todd-Clouser-A-Love-Electric/116705371735920 BAM! In a world of conventional music, BAM has found an unconventional approach to fitting in. This Philadelphia collaboration exemplifies years of chemistry, providing a breath of fresh air to the music listener searching for artistry in music making. Their natural talents allow for a colorful canvas of sound exploration; from funky grooves to light jazz to driving drum and bass. Their goal is not to pinpoint a genre, its to display advanced musicality, highlighting the array of possibilities that exist. BAM approaches song writing with sophistication and technicality, challenging themselves to find simplicity in their methodology. The result is a collection of sounds captivating for the mind and pleasing to the ear. BAM is also in the process of writing music that will be used by Network TV stations for national programming. Don't be surprised if you hear their work on a Sci-Fi program in the near future. BAM is currently working hard on their catalogue and will be touring in the near future.
