Captain Midnight Band w/ Greener Grounds – Friday, July 15th

The Captain Midnight Band is the world’s only known purveyor of “Waterbed Rock & Roll”.

Crunchy Rock Guitar Riffs, Thick R&B Grooves, and Soaring Vocal Harmonies combine to create a unique soundscape for jammy anthems, sci-fi imagery, and humorous situations.

The group’s diverse appeal has resulted in club, theater, and festival dates with such acts as Dark Star Orchestra, String Cheese Incident, moe, Goose, Twiddle, Spafford, Billy Strings, Karl Denson, TAUK, and too many other weirdos to list.

Flattering comparisons to genre-defying acts such as P-Funk, Frank Zappa, and Ween are evident in the live show, where a genuine, energetic exchange occurs between band, fans, and whoever is lucky enough to be in the vicinity.

The catchy songs and sexy, slick production of the band’s four studio albums have certainly raised a few earbrows, but any fan will tell you that the live show is where the butter is stored.

The band’s freshly-released live album, “LEISURE MGMT. LIVE”, recorded in Asheville, NC captures the energy exchange of the band and its fans in a raucous, party environment. All previous releases are all available on itunes, Apple music, YouTube, Amazon, and Spotify.

Formed in New Orleans and based in Nashville, the band pays homage to both cities, straddling the line between polished and greasy, slick and slippery, with an unrelenting commitment to dazzling the earholes and eyeballs of everyone in attendance.

Greener Grounds is a five piece jamtronica band based out of Denver, CO. They quickly gained momentum and secured a name for themselves in the highly competitive jam band music scene. Inspired by the likes of Lotus, STS9, the Disco Biscuits, Phish, and Umphrey’s Mcgee, they blend many styles including psychedelic funk, rock, trance fusion, and break beats. Their eclectic sound continues to take crowds by surprise ensuring a lively, danceable, and energetic vibe where ever the road takes them.

Greener Grounds features Joe Shur on lead guitar, Mathew Buelt on rhythm guitar, Roland Hansen on keys and synth, Jay Rieder on bass, and AJ Gillman on drums and percussion.

Holding themselves to a high standard, Greener Grounds is comprised of passion, collective consciousness, environmental sustainability and unity, which is all expressed through their music. Constantly evolving in their sound, performance, and presence, they have caught the attention of sponsors, stages, and festivals all around the United States. Their “Practice makes perfect” mentality is visible in their connection to each other and their fans at each show. In the past year they have lit up the stage at Sonic Bloom, ARISE Music Festival, and Resonance Music & Arts Festival. Accompanied by performances with Perpetual Groove, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Kung Fu, the Main Squeeze, Consider the Source, the Magic Beans, the Mantras, YAMN, and many more!

Last year’s release of their first EP, Photosynthesis, has been praised and quoted as “Jamtronica Gold,” by The Untz, setting them up for a bright future in the studio world. Greener Grounds is currently recording their first full length album titled, Momentous, which was successfully funded by through their Kickstarter Campaign. Set to be released on July 8th, 2016 Momentous will be a groundbreaking force for both the jam band and livetronica music scenes.
