Details:
Bananafish Dance Orchestra is an 8-piece powerhouse groove sensation, with a 3-piece horn section, a 4-piece rhythm section, and a vocalist up front. All members are enrolled or have already graduated from the VIU Bachelors of Jazz studies degree in Nanaimo BC. This is where the band met, and from there began playing all over Vancouver Island. The horn section consists of Phil Hamelin on the Trumpet, Ron Gaucher on Tenor Sax and Dave Lawson on the Bari Sax. Influenced by Tower of Power and Buena Vista Social Club, this exotic balance enables the group to really dig into various styles of music.
Now for the meat and potatoes of the band: we have Duncan Symonds on guitar and percussion, Josh Gellman on keys and clav, Nic Sheasgreen layin’ down the slap licks on the bass and Brendan Holm on the drums. The Faces of Bananafish are one of many colors. Niall Harvey founded BFDO, composes the majority of the tunes, plays the timbales among other sorts of percussion, holds down lead vocals. This is Bananafish Dance Orchestras debut album which aims to convey the energy of the band''s live sound.
