**FREQUINOX**
The FREQUINOX is not just a band; it is a super group of musicians.
Born of the concept that in combining members from the “best of the
best” of the West-Coast’s Soul-Jazz Boogaloo bands with those of
the “best of the best” from New Orleans to form a Super group so
damn funky and exceptional that it would be the cause of an
out-and-out, general freak-out for those that witness this sensational
group!
DONALD HARRISON
Having recorded with the Headhunter, this sax player from NOLA is a
true legend. He also combined jazz with Afro-New Orleans traditional
music on his critically acclaimed and influential albums “Indian
Blues” in 1991 and “Spirits of Congo Square” in 2000.
STANTON MOORE
Born and raised in New Orleans, Stanton Moore is a dedicated drummer
and performer especially connected to the city, its culture and
collaborative spirit. Driven and inspired by the thriving music scene
of his hometown which includes such greats as Professor Longhair,
Doctor John and The Meters, Moore’s name is now mentioned amongst
these Big Easy mainstays.
ROBERT MERCURIO
New Orleans local, and founder of Galactic, this bassist knows how to
get groovy. Mercurio has been performing in the funk scene for
decades, and never falls short of bringing his unique sound to the
table.
ROBERT WALTER
Robert Walter performs all his own stunts. For 20 years, the San Diego
native has been pulling drawbars and pushing the limits of the Hammond
B3 organ. Walter helped form the the Greyboy Allstars in 1993 with
Karl Denson, Elgin Park, Chris Stillwell, Zak Najor, and DJ Greyboy.
Influenced by soul-jazz and funk records from the 1960s and 70s, the
band juxtaposed jazz improvisation and dance music.
WILL BERNARD
Grammy nominated guitarist Will Bernard, a Berkeley, CA native and
Brooklyn NY transplant studied guitar and piano from an early age with
Dave Creamer, Art Lande and Julian White later developing and interest
in classical music composition. Since then, Bernard has participated
in a host of boundary stretching groups, ranging from jazz, hip-hop
and world music to experimental music, with many stops in between.
*FOCKSTAR*
Fockstar is comprised of percussionist MIKE
DILLON, bassist MONONEON and up-and-coming funk trio ORGAN
FREEMAN. New Orleans' local Mike Dillon has been labeled as a “punk
rock provocateur,” “jazz vibraphone visionary,” and
“percussion virtuoso” by his critics, having performed with Les
Claypool, Garage A Tois and countless other musical projects. Brooklyn
based MonoNeon has created a die-hard fanbase through his work with
Prince, along with a variety of collaborations that have deemed him to
one of the most innovative bassists of the modern-funk-era. Finally,
straight out California, Organ Freeman is a trio
featuring tight-laced musicianship, funk forward jams, and
extrodinairly high energy to keep you groovin.
