About MarchFourth

MarchFourth

MarchFourth is a joy-inducing force of entertainment, celebrating their 21st Anniversary this year. The colorful explosion of brassy funk, rock, and jazz is all about the groove. This larger-than-life group of 15 musicians, dancers and acrobats brings a spirit of celebration wherever they go. MarchFourth is, in a word, FUN!

With exceptional musical quality and a visual kaleidoscope of performers, MarchFourth is a spectacle of high-energy compositions, colorful costumes, and irresistible charisma! M4 has been seen on stages from ESPN's Espy Awards to festivals like Wakarusa, Bumbershoot, and High Sierra Music Fest, to world-class venues like The Kennedy Center, Hollywood Bowl, The Fillmore, and even a cultural exchange tour to China, sponsored by the US State Department.

MarchFourth's track "Gospel" (from their self-released album Rise Up, 2009) was featured as the closing credits theme song in the Disney/Pixar animated film, Monsters University. MarchFourth's new album Worth It is due out in 2023.

"From the first note to the last, the sound was pumping and the fun never stopped." ~USAToday

"Just when you think you've heard it all, suddenly a band crosses paths with your ears and changes everything... Full of auditory goodness..." ~NYS Music

"Mighty, Explosive, Carnivalesque Brass Band Funk"

 

About Playtonics

Playtonics

The 5 piece jazzy soul pop band "Playtonics" that was born in 2018 has blossomed 5 years later into a sometimes 8 or 9 piece jazzy jam band with a horn section! They are friends who unpack universal thoughts of love & life in their music and share an appreciation of jazz and funk. It's jazzy soul pop with groove and fun folks.

Paige Hansen (keys/lead vocals,) Tom Hume (drums/vocals,) Denny Foreman (guitar/vocals,) Brady McCowan (sax/vocals/music direction,) Danielle Westbrook (trumpet/vocals,) Stephanie Jones (bass/vocals,) Ashish Meloottu (trombone/percussion,) Maureese Itson (sax,) D'Vonne Lewis (drums,) Jade Monroe (backing vocals/percussion) and John Studamire pitch into the thrilling mayhem that is Playtonics.
