About Me

Since forming in October of 2004, Disco Organica (or, DO for short) has gigged relentlessly at home in Eugene, Oregon and on the North and Southwest tour circuits.
DO plays positive music drawing from a range of influences - a fusion of trip-hop, jazz, funk, soul, blues, drum'n'bass, and R&B. Always up for exploring grooves and improvising, DO's tunes meld genres and span styles from mellow, down-tempo jazz numbers to energetic schizo-funk, that is sometimes aggressive and always danceable.
DO's "something for everyone" approach makes use of the vocal talents of guitar-player Brad Erichsen, set to a backdrop of blues, jazz and R&B arrangements.
At the end of the night, sophisticated music lovers and dance-hungry partygoers have all found something to love about Disco Organica. We hope you will too.
You can purchase SoulFrog, the first full-length album, at CDBaby . Hear more tunes at discoorganica.com and look for the new album later this year.
Thank you for checking out and supporting the music! We look forward to seeing you at the next show!
