Animals Collide (11/4/11)

Bonjour, Ganesh! is an eight-piece band from Washington, DC that blends rock, funk, jam, and soul to produce an original sound that is unmistakably the 21st-century descendant of old-time rhythm and blues.

The eight members were raised listening to a diverse set of influences: The Temptations and The Who, Phish and Fela Kuti, Pink Floyd and Paula Abdul, Tom Waits and Tom Lehrer. All of these artists and more emerge in their creative and catchy songwriting and instrumentation.

Front man and vocalist/guitarist Adam Rosenberg is flanked by bassist and vocalist Michael Strauss* who is a skiing enthusiast. Luke Peterson+ adds keyboards and wisecracks, Matt Ling^, keeps the rhythm going on drums and Dan Wagner bangs a mean set of congas.

The band's real drive and energy comes from the three-piece horn section, a.k.a. "The StratPak" featuring two trombone players (Colin McCormick and Stratton Edwards*) who complement the harmonic genius of sax player Mike Nilsson*.

The band has consistently sold out shows in all sorts of East Coast venues, while their fans have consistently run up large bar tabs. Bonjour, Ganesh! looks forward to bringing audiences to their feet in a fun, entertaining, and often participatory atmosphere.
