Event information

Polyrhythmics sound originated in Seattles underground deep funk scene combining impossibly tight grooves with bold brass and hypnotic percussion that showcased elements of Rs early era sound. Now on their 14th year as a recording project and touring ensemble, the bands sound continues to evolve with the 2023 release of their seventh full length album Filter System. As journalist Bee Getz writes,it feels something like a new beginning for these fellas; Filter System is filled with uptempo dance tunes, crunkadelic bangers, and dusty blunted safaris-in-soundPolyrhythmics virtuosic musicianship and musical conversation has been built on a relentless touring schedule of the previous decade which has led them to their current sound that fills a room with an impending mood where anything could happen - sometimes evoking their brighter and cinematic Fela-influences, but also a more sinister and darker turn toward a more a progressive sonic palette combining psych-funk with dub reggae, film noir and galaxies beyond. According to guitarist/co-founder Ben Bloom, We have a love affair with making people move their bodies, and the music weve been creating lately absolutely reflects that. Polyrhythmics are:Ben Bloom: Guitars, Grant Schroff: Drums, Nathan Spicer: Keyboards, Jason Gray: Bass, Scott Morning: Trumpet, Elijah Clark: Trombone, Art Brown: Sax and Flute
