Description

At the heart of San Francisco's infamous Jazz Mafia, you'll find The
Shotgun Wedding Quintet - A group of 5 powerful musical personalities
with the sound of a 10-piece band...literally. By taking advantage of
modern technology, these guys use electronic sampling devices to layer
their sound, an original technique this band has mastered. Based in the
Mission District, The SWQ has garnered a loyal following of Hip-Hop and
Jazz enthusiasts. Since 2003 they've worked extensively on touring
throughout California, and opening for groups like Digital Underground,
Tone Loc, Zion-I and more. The band consists of some of the Bay Area's
finest musicians, many of which have performed with Lyrics Born, Zion-I,
Spearhead, and the Realistic Orchestra. Rapper Dublin uses today's
headlines to create what he calls "Freestyle Narratives"; often times
incorporating the thoughts and ideas of audience members into an
unsurpassable live show. Up and coming Bay Area DJ/Producer Aspect
incorporates unique samples, and creative turn-table scratches to help
build the deep soundscape within the rhythm section. All of these
elements combined make for an incredible live performance. The Shotgun
Wedding Quintet is a band to be seen, heard, and understood. ~ www.shotgunweddingquintet.com
