Mike Keneally (guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist) has been playing with Joe Travers (drums) and Bryan Beller (bass) since 1993, when they were members of the Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa band Z. Throughout the 90s, as Mike Keneally & Beer For Dolphins, they played frequently on the West Coast in support of Keneally’s solo albums hat., Boil That Dust Speck and Sluggo! Although Keneally has worked with countless brilliant musicians throughout his solo career, fans have long held a special appreciation for the high energy, humor, camaraderie and virtuosity of the Keneally/Beller/Travers triumvirate. They will be playing music covering the gamut of Keneally’s career, from those classic 90s releases all the way up to the brand new Scambot 2.

Mike Keneally has played with Frank Zappa, Steve Vai and many others, in addition to his long-standing solo career. He and Bryan Beller currently play together in Joe Satriani’s band, and have toured extensively in the metal band Dethklok. Beller is also a member of the instrumental juggernaut The Aristocrats. Joe Travers, in addition to past drumming duties with Zappa Plays Zappa and Duran Duran, has held the position of Vaultmeister for the Zappa Family Trust since the 90s, exhuming unreleased Frank Zappa tapes for release to the public.  http://www.keneally.com

 

 

Teddy Kumpel LOOPestra
The LOOPestra lineup will be Teddy Kumpel on guitar, Bryan Beller on bass, and Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) on drums.

Punk jazz? Blues prog? EDM jam band? Eclectic is Teddy Kumpels middle name, but that didnt stop him from inventing a new kind of music. LOOPestra showcases his on-the-fly song productions and singular musical voice. With live looping technology and clever use of modern guitar efx that swirl around the room, Teddy carries listeners to edge of the cliff and delivers them to brilliantly orchestrated, humorous songs in a way that will make you think there are five other musicians backstage even though you only see three. If Jackson Pollock were a guitar player, he would play like Kumpel, throwing licks against the wall to see if theyll stick. Teddy tours with Joe Jackson, played on a Grammy winning album, has produced award winning projects, and hosts NYCs top musicians in LOOPestras rotating cast. Adept at all aspects of music creation and production, Teddys musical wizardry leaves his audiences in disbelief and begging for more. http://www.teddyjam.com

Punk jazz? Blues prog? EDM jam band?  Eclectic is Teddy Kumpel’s middle name, but that didn’t stop him from inventing a new kind of music. LOOPestra showcases his on-the-fly song productions and singular musical voice.  With live looping technology and clever use of modern guitar efx that swirl around the room, Teddy carries listeners to edge of the cliff and delivers them to brilliantly orchestrated, humorous songs in a way that will make you think there are five other musicians backstage even though you only see three.  If Jackson Pollock were a guitar player, he would play like Kumpel, throwing licks against the wall to see if they’ll stick. Teddy tours with Joe Jackson, played on a Grammy winning album, has produced award winning projects, and hosts NYC’s top musicians in LOOPestra’s rotating cast.  Adept at all aspects of music creation and production, Teddy’s musical wizardry leaves his audiences in disbelief and begging for more.

Despite what the multi layered sound might tell you, everything you hear from the Teddy Kumpel LOOPestra on stage is played live. With innovative use of looping technology and his vast experience mangling vintage and modern sounds Teddy effortlessly creates myriad textures that make you think there must be a whole slew of musicians hiding backstage. A veritable funkdafied

 

Chris Buono

Chris has been called many things: arcane improviser,  sound diabolist, fearless composer, content junkie, video stunt guitarist,  crazed educator and the list goes on. If you’re looking for simpler terms you  can go with recording artist (Lava/Atlantic, Lion Music, RKM/Kindred), sideman  (Dweezil Zappa, Karsh Kale, Bumblefoot, Graham Haynes), educator (TrueFire,  Berklee College of Music, Guitarinstructor.com),  music journalist/columnist (Guitar Player, Guitar One, Just Jazz Guitar), and  author (Hal Leonard, Alfred, Cengage Learning).

Call him what you want, but one thing is certain this cat is  bad-ass and busy. Not to be tied down to any one identity for too long, Chris  Buono is perpetually morphing his chameleon-like media profile making it nearly  impossible to pigeon-hole his artistic output into a singular category. With a  guitar in hand and a slew of gadgets within arms reach, Chris Buono infiltrates  the modern world of guitar from all directions and shows no signs of slowing  down.
