George Porter Jr., Russell Batiste Jr., and Brian Stoltz, are bringing New Orleans jazz/funk to the masses all across the U.S. This excellent SBD matrix of the band tearing it up at Gathering Of the Vibes is a must have for your collection.
Their single “I Get High” is currently one of the most played songson SiriusXM JamOn 17. It is on their newly released album titled Moodoo which features Phish keyboardist Paige McConnell.
“We all come from old school New Orleans,” says Stoltz. “I grew up listening to the Beatles and Hendrix, but we still have that deep New Orleans background.”
This is evident in many of their tracks where the band lays down some sick guitar riffs. The trio is currently touring in the south east US.
Matisyahu is set to release it’s first album in more than 3 years. While touring across the nation relentlessly for past few years Matis has found time this year to record new material for his 2009 album titled Light.
