Magic Mann is psyched to welcome to the TREX:

WAITING ON MONGO:

A power funk 6 piece immersive experience that can only be described as a soulful journey that pushes the limits in the 4th dimension of psychedelic grooves. With strutting guitar riffs, transcendent horns, and heady organ depth, the live performances take you on a cathartic journey where you shed the weight of the world with everyone in attendance. Traversing the inner workings of the human soul, everything seems to be in its right place when the Mongo party hits full throttle.

WOM has relentlessly displayed a level of musicianship that continues to impress both music critics and fans alike, winning awards in their hometown of Asbury Park for consecutive years. With a permeating aura of soulful energy, that illuminates every venue, the band is on a collision course for new locations to spread the love that is their music.

Lazy Bird:

Creative, charismatic, and certainly funky — these are just a few of the words that describe the young and upcoming band known as Lazy Bird. Hailing from the quaint yet musically inclined city of Burlington, Vermont, Lazy Bird’s astounding ability to improvise leads to a completely distinctive listening experience each performance. The band cut their teeth with dorm room jams at the University of Vermont led by guitarist Jackson Bower and Saxophonist Matt Cincotta. Shortly after, Lazy Bird found themselves traveling across the American Northeast to play with up and coming bands Dogs in a Pile, Eggy, and Yam Yam.

The members’ love and respect for one another resonates with the crowd and invites any and everyone to dance along. Lazy Bird thrives on musical exploration, risks, and experimentation, and they specialize in a jam genre that is heavily inspired by funk, jazz, and soul. Lazy Bird has plunged headfirst into the music scene of New England while maintaining a unique sound of its own. The meshing of each band member’s spirited talent provides an upbeat and joyous environment wherever they perform. Each one of Jackson Bower’s guitar string sleave a sweet flavor in the ear. The vibrant harmonies of Saxophonist, Matthew Cincotta, and Trumpeter, Justin Plakias, add a smoky ingredient to each song. Nodding your head would be impossible without the rock-steady beat of Tom Gladstone on bass and Cal McCandless on drums, complimenting each other and commanding the rhythm of the band. Lazy Bird’s harmonic soundscape culminates with the combination of Nashville native Will Grana on keyboard and Avery Rubin’s powerful lead vocals. The popularizing group quickly captured the attention of a young Burlington audience while also satisfying the likes of old-school jam fans as well.

Funk Begins at 8:30pm
