Dirtwire sits on the front porch of Americana’s future, conjuring up a wild west swamptronic space bandit sound with traditional instrumentation, global percussion, and electronic soundscapes. Comprised of multi-instrumentalists David Satori (Beats Antique), JED (Jed & Lucia), and Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila; BOLO), each show brings us to a mysterious crossroads at imaginative and seductive moments in time.
For years Sun Hop Fat has been at the forefront of introducing the unique sounds of Ethiopian Jazz to the masses. The music blends the rhythms of traditional American funk (James Brown, Parliament) and jazz (Yusef Lateef, Miles Davis) with harmonies and melodies from East Africa. The result is an up-tempo groove machine that borrows harmonies from the Middle East. The music focuses primarily on arrangements from the “golden era” of Ethiopian Jazz but includes original compositions as well. This all-star band includes standout musicians from other popular San Francisco Bay Area groups.
