The Shy Trafficker

The Manumit of Copacetic Effrontery

About Me

The shy trafficker is an equation to crack; it possesses an elaborate infrastructure of instrumental indie rock ideals, a jazz-sensibility, and heroic interludes to build thematic “songs within a song.” The band utilizes raw materials of rhythm and complexity from only three players. It will sometimes leave the listener delighted... and a little confused. The shy trafficker consists of John Campos on bass guitar, Mark Coburn on guitar and Kenny Day on drums. We hope you will enjoy!
