About Flow Tribe:
Few bands arouse a crowd into a collective shake like Flow Tribe. The six-member band’s onstage chemistry reflects a seamless combination of soul and movement that hits the audience within the first few notes. Virgin listeners and avid fans alike are drawn in by the distinctive sound that feels both familiar and original. Outfitted for each performance in colorful, carefully selected suits, it’s clear their focus is sharp and the party has begun. This is the work of professional musicians who’ve found their passion, and are living a dream where everyone’s welcome.

Second line brass and Cuban-Caribbean rhythms meld with R&B, soul, rock, and hip-hop beats in high-energy performances that turn every show into a celebration. New Orleans is influence itself, the unparalleled free and easy city weaving its way into track after track of original scores that make up a single definition of sound, which Flow Tribe has dubbed “backbone-cracking music.”

K.C. O’Rorke (vocals, trumpet), John-Michael Early (harmonica, washboard, vocals, keyboard), Russell Olschner (drums), Chad Penot (bass, vocals), Bryan Santos (guitar, timbales), and Mario Palmisano (guitar) are native New Orleanians and high school pals who’ve been writing music and playing live shows since the band’s inception in 2004. Post graduation, they went their separate ways, but after Katrina, each returned to their hometown, inherently becoming active members in the rebuilding of a community that’s stronger than ever. Flow Tribe may well be the city’s next music ambassadors.

With two full-length albums and several EPs under their belt, the crew is currently building Downman Sounds, a studio in New Orleans East where they expect to cut their next record. The Tribe can be found crisscrossing the US just about every week of the year, from Key West to California, including regular performances at the notable New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest and Voodoo Fest. Look for their next project to be released in early ‘17, a full length album entitled “BOSS” produced by New Orleans’s own Mannie Fresh.

About Liquid Mirage:
Forged in the extreme Dallas heat and humidity of summer 2019 through a series of events that seem too strange to be purely coincidence, Liquid Mirage is a band of four musical brothers with diverse musical backgrounds and a shared dedication to bringing unique and creatively blended music to adventurous ears everywhere. This Texas quartet draws upon a vast spectrum of musical styles to sculpt a mixture of original vocal and instrumental songs that explore many levels of simplicity and complexity. Add to that an enthusiastic focus on incorporating extended segments of collective improvisation and the result is a one-of-a-kind live experience that’s always evolving and always a booty-shaking good time!

Liquid Mirage is comprised of Austin Allen on drums; Neely Rose on electric guitar and vocals; Jordan Watson on electric guitar, mandolin, and vocals; and Colin Young on electric bass and vocals. With influences including rock, funk, jazz, bluegrass, folk, pop, metal, ambient, classical, and much much more, the group’s sound is like a fusion of Frank Zappa, Phish, Talking Heads, and John McLaughlin. Despite their existence still being in its infancy, Liquid Mirage is hitting the ground running with plans to record and release their first Demo/EP by the year’s end.
