A Whole Lotta Groove & Nothin to Lose

About Me

the GO show, a quartet of party animals, specializes in taking the finest selections from the golden era of funk, jazz, and electric blues and blending it into a melee of improvised party grooves. Since February of 2002, this band of brothers has taken the methods of jamming from the likes of the Grateful Dead and Phish to another level. Using the formulas of jazz standards and applying them to pop tunes from throughout the last century, the GO show has created a brand new style of raw soulfulness and fully improvisational music. Often playing for two to four hours without a stop in a on-going, emotionally-intense ride, the GO show always rocks their audiences with a mix of covers, original songs, and jams which have never been heard before the moment of their perfomance. the GO show is Chris "C Note" Nicotera on guitar, Phil Buck on bass, Dave Benedict on trumpet/congas, and John Daniel on drums.
