About Me

Luke and Scotts musical friendship started in high-school where they played and wrote music together. Joe was a childhood friend of Scotts who also was interested in guitar. The three jammed together and developed a great connection. While Joe was working on his degree at Iowa State University, Scott and Luke were playing music and attending classes in Cedar Rapids. The three managed to stay in touch and would play shows together from time to time. Meanwhile, in another part of Iowa, richard was playing guitar in the shitty metal band; Tragic Entrance. Seeing no future in his current musical endeavors, he decided to go back to school to study auto mechanics at Kirkwood Community College. This is where he signed up for a course on the history of jazz, rock, and blues, which rekindled his interests in music. He changed his major to music and started playing bass guitar. There he met and befriended Scott and Collin. Collins music studies include percussion, voice, and piano. In high-school, Collin played drums in an acoustic rock band and like Luke and Scott, was also involved in the theatre. Scott studied jazz guitar and majored in music performance. Common interest and musical experience paved the way for the birth of The Schizophonic Jazz Jam. SJJ was a group of musicians from Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls, which played jazz standards in a jam-rock sense. At the same time, Luke and Scott were in the experimental jam-rock group Franky Malloon. Franky Malloon opened shows for groups such as lotus, Bockmans Ephio, and Shanti Groove. In a far away room in Ames, Iowa, Joe was stewing up his melodic and harmonic ideas and happened to brewed up the fine tasting Joes Monophonic Experiment. Meanwhile, when confronted with a great opportunity Luke decided to put his drumming on pause and study for five months in Mysore, India. At the same time, Joe had graduated from ISU and moved to Iowa City. Living under the same roof allowed Joe and Scott to pursue their passion for writing music. With Scott and Joe incubating a sound in one hand and the S.J.J. getting solid feedback from live shows in the other, it was clear the two projects needed to unite. After a few months they were making some great progress and decided to make music a priority. They needed a name that encompassed the sound and feelings that came with their music. Hunab was the choice. In January Luke returned to the states and joined the group.

Influences: Hunab takes an open approach towards the music they create. â€œWe donâ€™t want to pigeonhole ourselves into one genre. If you listen to and enjoy all kinds of music, why not create all kinds of music?â€ Music creates different feelings and moods. Hunab is the medium that connects you to those feelings through their songs.
Sounds Like: The music of Hunab is a culmination of Jam-psycadelic rock-reggae-funk-fusion. Expect their compositions to be lengthy and genre spanning.
