Thanks for checking out Caravan West! We are located in the North Bay Area of California and play regularly in Marin, Sonoma, and Solano counties. CW formed in the fall of 2003 and inspired by the well crafted music of Sean Munding have joined the Bay Area jam revival. CW is Americana fueled groove rock, borrowing from a diversity of styles including country, jazz, blues, disco, funk and psychedelic jamnation. Interludes of dub, reggae, and techno should be expected. We enjoy a diversity of time slots, from the tight 45-minute set to sunrise welcoming jam operas and everything in between
Caravan West is...
Sean Munding - lead vocals, guitar, dobro, other stuff with strings. Sean is a SoCal escapee and is the driving force behind CW. His music taps into the human experience and ties us all together with original progressions and searing tones.
Mark Hales - organ, piano, things with keys. Mark joins us from Marin County and rains down a mighty sheet of rhythm and atmosphere from his fingertips. He takes you from a catchy melody into the depths of the Inferno and back again, begging for more.
Yohan Navarro - bass, kicks, stage show. Yohan hails from Vallejo by way of WV, MA and Davis, CA. His focus is to groove the low end in style and rump shaking ferocity. He can be seen in a constant state of self-correcting bliss at your local CW show.
Chris Brown - drums, cymbals, things you hit. Brown joins us from SoCal by way of Utah. This beat freak's rhythms range from pimpin' a drunken swing to the dirty funk to arena shaking rock. He rides the rhythms with a pocket so deep you can touch your dancin' feet.
