An original eclectic blend of rock, jazz, latin & world grooves. BuzzUniverse features smoking horns and a rock-solid rythm section. Since 2000, the band has been performing and tearing up clubs and large festivals throughout the northeast and has released two captivating studio albums. Described by jambands.com as "addictive & hip-grinding," BuzzUniverse has enlightened loyal fans with brilliantly crafted songs, incredible vocal harmonies and ferocious live energy. Natives of Elizabeth New Jersey, BuzzUniverse aims to spread their unique sound and positive vibe far and wide!More exploratory than a pop band but not quite a jamband, BuzzUniverse has demonstrated a unique approach in getting their music heard. They took a ‘play all day to whoever is passing’ gig at New York’s Chelsea Piers for the past two summers; they’ve financed their own free performances in New York City Parks; they’ve even managed to get a mention in the New York Post’s infamous Page Six gossip column. In 2007, BuzzUniverse were also invited into the prestigious "Leeway's Homegrown Music Network", for CD distribution, joining the ranks of a select group of other great bands like Umphreys McGhee, Garaj Mahal, The Slip & Yonder Mountain String Band, among others.
