Ask anyone who has heard The Catfish Groove Farm to describe their sound and you might get a few different answers. Some describe them as a Jam band, while others might say acid jazz or fusion. Some might say they hear inklings of Santana, Galactic, Steely Dan, Billy Cobham, The Pat Metheny Group, or John Scofield. The truth is, The Catfish Groove Farm has a sound that can be difficult to pin down. Thats the way they want it, however. The Catfish Groove Farm set out to distinguish themselves as a band that combines elements of many diverse styles of music, including jazz, fusion, funk, acid jazz, rock, and Latin. At the core of their organic sound is a remarkable ability to improvise and play from the hip. The Catfish Groove Farm is more than a jam band, more than a jazz, acid jazz, or fusion band. It is an expression of a love for music made by four exceptional musicians.
The Sugarthieves, formerly known as The Mikel Lander & Meridtih Moore band, came together through a simple twist of fate, a love for good music, and a passion that these five musicians share to take their music to the next level. On October 5th 2008, they won the Arizona State Blues Competition and were voted best blues band in the state. From there, they went on to compete in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis on Feb. 5th 2009 where they were voted in to the top ten unsigned blues bands in the world. They’ve also shared a stage with Robert Randolph, Blues Traveler, Warren Haynes, and The Wailers at the 2008 McDowell Mountain Music Festival in Scottsdale. In May of 2008, they released their first album “The Soulo Sessions”. It’s a full length, live recording with ‘8’ guest musicians. And they haven’t left behind social responsibility, this band has contributed their time and musical energy to benefits and fundraisers throughout the valley.
