The Bundy Band
The horn-based Bundy Band plays funky, psychedelic music inspired as much by New Orleans as the Pacific Northwest. It features many musicians who have been playing together in various formations for nearly three decades.
You might catch them on a night up on the hill playing jazz. Or a guest might come by and steer them down a path of John Prine songs. Any style of music is fair game: New Orleans trad. jazz, second line brass band tunes, funk, standards, original songs about humanzees and Han Solo, or even covers from artists like Charles Wright, The Band, or Phish.
Sometimes hot keyboard player Dave Fleschner lights an infinite cosmic fire with his organ. Sometimes multi-instrumental wind player John Savage tears the fabric of space/time with his flute. Sometimes multi-instrumental reed player (and band founder) Douglas G. Bundy even plugs his clarinet into a bunch of pedals and breaks your mind. If the guys get it right (which they always do), the music goes somewhere really special, and everyone goes along for the ride.
