Kneebody

Kneebody (keyboardist Adam Benjamin, trumpeter Shane Endsley, saxophonist Ben Wendel, and drummer/bassist Nate Wood) combines explosive rock energy paralleled with high-level nuanced chamber ensemble playing, balancing intricate composition with adventurous no-holds-barred improvising. But really, all “sounds-like” references can be set aside; this band has created a genre and style all its own. Kneebody draws upon influences spanning D’Angelo’s Voodoo to music by Elliot Smith, Bill Frisell, and Miles Davis. Their incredible live shows are known for intense sonic landscapes, harmonic depth and improvisational freedom. Their upcoming album Chapters releases October 18, 2019 on Edition Records.
