Bio: Springing forth from the severed head of its musical progenitors, Flounder was formed with the mission of presenting original musical compositions and creative arrangements inspired by the Blues in all of its myriad forms. Utilizing the unusual instrumentation of trombone, bass trumpet, euphonium, bass clarinet, saxophone, electric guitar, modular synthesizer, and drums, the quartet deftly combines the aesthetics of contemporary art music with the freewheeling groove and grit of mid-century electric blues and jazz. Simultaneously visceral and erudite, Flounder creates foot-stomping music for deep listening.
