About Me

Wise Monkey is back and delivering the funk again! Fronted by sultry songstress Alley, they feature many new songs as well as old classics. On the bass, Chad Stewart anchors the rhythm section along with familiar face Dave Carano on guitar and new drummer Danny Campbell. Wise Monkey is still rockin' the horns, led by Andy "AG" Geib on trombone and flute and introducing Freddie "Little Hubbard" Gonzales on the trumpet. They have showcased their music for the last 11 yrs. out of San Diego, CA. and have toured the country extensively through 30 states as well as Canada and Mexico. They have shared the stage with Maceo Parker, Fishbone, The Jerry Garcia Band, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Gap Band, The Ohio Players, Wyclef Jean to name a few. Their music has been featured in MTV's "The Real World" as well as a national Corona beer radio ad. In 2000 & 2001 they won back to back San Diego Music Awards for "Best Dance/Funk Band" and "Best Jazz/Blues Album" as well as being nominated for "Group of the Year" and "Album of the Year". They have six albums to their credit and are currently in the studio recording their seventh due in Spring of 2007.
