NJPROGHOUSE PRESENTS: Frogg Cafe with special guest Brett Kull
FROGG CAFE
http://www.froggcafe.com/
Frogg Cafe is a 5 piece original rock band from the New York metropolitan area making music that incorporates elements of Zappa-esque progressive rock, pop melodicism and fusion jazz. Frogg Cafés music is also peppered with an appealing variety of other flavors including latin music, bluegrass, modern chamber music and avant-garde/experimental. Their energetic live shows feature extended flights of group improvisation that draw grins from any hardcore prog fan.
The members of this unique group are Bill Ayasse (vocals, electric violin, mandolin), James Guarnieri (drums), John Lieto (vocals, keyboards, trombone), Nick Lieto (vocals, keyboards, trumpet, flugelhorn), and Andrew Sussman (vocals, bass, cello, acoustic guitar). Frogg Café studio albums also exploit the considerable talents of a regular supporting cast of guest musicians, who supply marimba, flute, and additional percussion to their colorful and highly textured arrangements.
Discography includes six albums within a seventh due out summer 2017. Amongst them a double-disc live release and a full length improvisational album. Most recent studio album, Bateless Edge (2010) represents a collection of seventy-four minutes of music, full of complex arrangements in several different progressive rock styles. Past discography includes: Frogg Cafe (2001), re-mastered with a live bonus track; Noodles (2002) an improvisational album which captures a snippet of a four-hour jam session in the studio; the melodic and heavily Zappa and early Genesis-influenced Creatures (2003); Fortunate Observer of Time (2005); and live double-disc The Safenzee Diaries (2007), which features fourteen songs and over two hours of live music spanning from 2004-2006. Safenzee captures a band that is internationally renowned for live performances at their absolute best, in a virtuoso display of showmanship.
The real experience comes when you witness the band live.
