New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Shack Band, the Richmond, Va., based funk rock quintet will open for The Everyone Orchestra at The Cutting Room in New York City, on April 20, 2013. (Doors: 8pm/Show: 9pm)
The Shack Band has a singularly deep desire to wow new crowds with their off-the-cuff, high-energy live shows melding funky rock 'n' roll and soaring harmonies with a strong emphasis on song-writing.
The group is excited to be working with CEG (Creative Entertainment Group) and The Everyone Orchestra on such a short notice.
Mason Owen (the group's bassist) said when the opportunity presented itself "we jumped onboard."
The Everyone Orchestra is the creation of conductor/founder Matt Butler. Tuning in to Butler's energy, the band and audience utilize the conductor as their pivot to the set mood of each passing jam as he communicates with the musicians using hand signs, whiteboard and assorted mime suggestions.
A extremely short list of EO alum include members of The Flecktones, moe. The Grateful Dead, and Tea Leaf Green. Not to mention the live painters, chanters, choirs, fire spinners, stilt walkers, story tellers, and the such, hanging about.
The Shack Band is fired-up to be partaking in this unique collaborative performance that deeply encourages and requires audience interaction. The edge of your seat enthusiasm for what is next is the fuel behind the continuous musical experiment of The Everyone Orchestra.
Expected to appear are Al and Vinnie from moe., Kalmia and Alex from Rubblebucket, and Trevor and Reed from Tea Leaf Green.
