Black and Tan Fantasy Band

Welcome to Washington DC’s super Soul & Funk band – imagined, instigated and finally invoked in 2007! Taking cues from James Brown, Stax, Sly and the Family Stone, Motown... Featuring solidly smoking bass and drum unit Ashish Vyas and Jerry Busher and keyboard wunderkind Will Rast. The group also features percussion by Josh Kay (Funk Ark) and guitar by Rodney Richardson or John Lee, depending on what day of the week it is. At times expanding and transforming the sound are The Stray Horns, a two- to five-piece brass section featuring Matt Rippetoe, Joe Hererra and Bobby Muncy. ************************************************************ ********************* Ashish Vyas (GoGoGo Airheart, Thievery Corporation) ************************************************************ ********************* Jerry Busher (Fugazi , French Toast) ************************************************************ ********************* Will Rast (The Funk Ark, RAMP) ************************************************************ *********************
