Thrown-Out Bones

For anyone yearning for a bastion of hope and renewal in a darkening world, we take you delicately by the hand and lead you straight to Thrown-Out Bones. A band that immediately ignites a smile, they perform as if their very existence, as well as that of their audience, depends on them bringing down the entire house. They revel in their ability to read a room, to decipher what is needed by each individual, and to deliver that necessary elixir of rock/jazz/funk/improvisation with an uppercut of joy, passion, and uninhibited celebration of life. Their love for their trade pours out from the stage as they grab their audience by the heart and refuse to let it go. Their music feels like it rises up inside the listener. It rumbles the ribcage and shimmers the extremities, and right when the body starts to detach from the ground, they wink at you, whisper ain't this fun?, and push forth into whatever lies beyond the boundaries of elation. They are all we want in life, all that we want life to be, and they are hell-bent on bringing us with them to this wondrous place every time they take the stage. They are what we've been looking for, and when we find them, they give us so much more than we ever could've imagined.

The Monroe

One of the wonders of listening to The Monroe is to hear the music being formed precisely in that one moment. The knowing that exists between the duo runs to such a depth that they are as much listening to the other as they are anticipating their own sonic creations. Feeling and emotion evolve as each song filters through two minds, and both contributors seem to draw power from the other. They do not fall into the cliche of becoming one, instead they remain autonomous and connected while following a musical path they take turns forging. The voice calls out to a variety of instruments that all answer and in turn do their own calling, creating a harmony that beckons to all we strive for in this world. Beauty, empathy, longing and innovation all spiral together to weave more of a musical experience than a show. Theirs is a rare and pristine offering that is fleeting by nature; spontaneous, untethered, and uniquely momentary, The Monroe is a band to anticipate, absorb, and dreamily remember.
