Tracy Silverman has redefined the violin with his groundbreaking work with the 6-string electric violin; 5-time Grammy winner Roy "Futureman" Wooten is the inventor of electronic instruments, a symphonic composer and one of the greatest drummers of his generation; Steve Forrest is a bass legend.Together Eclectica grooves, rocks and flows from the first note to the last encore, with sing-along choruses and creative jams that can lead in any direction. With 3-part vocals and inspired synchronicity, ECLECTICA is a celebration and a concert on the same stage. EclecticaTheBand.com

Tracy Silverman Lauded by the BBC as “the greatest living exponent of the electric violin”, Juilliard graduate Tracy Silverman's groundbreaking work with the 6-string electric violin is the product of an odyssey from classical music through rock and world music and back to classical again. Recording-artist/composer Silverman has worked with a who's-who of rock, pop, new music, and jazz, including Pulitzer winning composer John Adams, who composed his electric violin concerto, “The Dharma at Big Sur”, specifically for Tracy and which they recorded together for Nonesuch Records with the BBC Symphony. Silverman was first violinist with the ground-breaking Turtle Island String Quartet and tours internationally as a solo performer when not playing with Eclectica. Tracy teaches jazz violin at Belmont University. tracysilverman.com
Steve Forrest Originally from Memphis, now one of Nashville’s top session bassists, Steve Forrest holds down the bass chair for one of Nashville’s funkiest weekly institutions, “The Wooten Brothers and Friends”, where he was nicknamed “Pound for Pound” (as in, "the best bass player around",) for his seemingly endless vocabulary of songs and styles. He's recorded and performed with dozens of legendary artists in many different genres and teaches at conferences and clinics nationwide.
