简介

Mojo Green - Heavy Horn Funk and Soul Formed in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Mojo Green has been staking their claim over the years as one of the regions premier horn driven funk and soul bands. Mojo Green is Frank "Fletch" Fletcher on drums and Trevor Rice on bass laying down the tight and funky grooves that create the foundation, with Tim Bain on guitar adding some tasty funk rhythms and blistering lead lines, a Heavy Funk Horn section composed of Kevin Thomas on bari sax, Trevor Hollingsworth on alto sax and Monty Adams on trumpet with Miss Jenes Carter adding her soulful and sexy lead vocals. Mojo Green plays a style of high-energy dance music that is extremely funky and very very sexy. Their debut album 'Funk in Public' released in May of 2013, has been well received by both fans and the media alike earning an award for Best Album of Northern Nevada for 2013 by the Reno News and Review. Press on "Funk In Public" “Mojo Green plays a style of throwback dance music that is irresistibly funky and very sexy.” Oliver X - Reno Tahoe Tonight “Dirty dance funk with dynamite vocals,driving rhythms and smokin horns!” Spencer Rouse - Chico Enterprise Record “How would you like your mojo, if you could have it made to order? Scrambled, over-easy, maybe poached … what about green? Just as green eggs don’t sound strange in the imaginary world of Dr. Seuss—in the musical world of local outfit Mojo Green, that’s also the unconventional color of choice, used to describe the band’s inherent instrumental sexiness.” Laura Davis - Reno News and Review “People hear jam band and think of the Greatful Dead, Phish, Widespread, etc.. I can tell you that Mojo Green is none of these and all of these. Encompassing the jam band spirit, the band takes it into a new direction making the sound all their own.” Jimmie Blanchard - PhishandtheDead.com “The band is an Afro-Funk band at it's core but what makes it so unique is the infusion that it employs as it transforms easily from a horn heavy funk ensemble into a jammed out version of Herbie Hancock meeting Phish circa 1997.” Sam Martin - Grateful Music and Phish News Live Shows Over the past several years Mojo Green has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with such names as: Trombone Shorty, The Funky Meters, Orgone, The Monophonics, Tea Leaf Green, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Nigel Hall w/ members of Lettuce, Albino, Moksha (with Skerik, Peter Afelbaum and Jennifer Hartswick), The Polyrhythmics, Dead Winter Carpenters, SambaDa, Delta Nove, Turquaz, to name a few. Their tour schedule takes them all over the West Coast with stops at several major music festivals including: Rail Road Earth's Hangtown Ball, The Squaw Valley Funk Fest, The Bounce Festival, Summer Fest, Freedom Dance Festival and The Ridgestock Festival.
