Laughing Man

About Me

Laughing Man is a Washington DC based trio comprised of Michael Andrew Harris (drums), Luke Stewart (bass, saxophone) and Brandon Moses (vocals, guitar). During the last year they’ve been quietly garnering attention for their artsy, yet uniquely soulful live performance. The band successfully encompasses a folk-soul-blues-jazz sound, and blends it with elements of indie rock, calypso, and garage punk. The band is in the midst of recording new material and playing live shows featuring diverse arrangements and instrumentation. Their impressive buzz and emerging local following have led many to believe this is a band to watch and a potential flag bearer for a new era in DC music.
