The Boston Horns is a 7-piece funk/jazz/soul band led by Garret Savluk, one of the former front men of the Heavy Metal Horns.  Over the course of 20 years, members of the Boston Horns have collaborated and toured with a wide range of artists including Tower of Power, Extreme, Johnny A., Shawn Mullins, Laverne Baker, and Susan Tedeschi to name just a few.  Their compelling mix of funk, jazz and soul has kept them busy performing in clubs and festivals in New England, New York, Montreal, San Jose, New Orleans and as far away as Tokyo.  “Shibuya Gumbo”, the latest domestic release by the Boston Horns, features tracks with Barrence  Whitfield on vocals and  Sam Kininger on alto sax. The group returned to the stuidio in 2010, and plans to release a new CD this year.

“… from the early days with The Blues Meanies, which had them backing the Del Fuegos, among others, to the years as the conceptually outrageous Heavy Metal Horns, which put them on the road with then-chart toppers Extreme, to their work over the past ten years as the Boston Horns — a busy decade which finds the Horns comfortable and confident, opening for monster funk acts like Tower of Power and bringing the band, and its powerhouse sound, to a headlining tour in Japan.”
- North Shore Art Throb

“… a band that rides in the pocket alongside such new-jack acid-jazzers as Karl Denson, Galactic and their brassy brethren. But the roots of the Boston Horns go back to the soul-jazz of the late '60s and the proto-funk of the Crusaders, Tower of Power and Melvin Sparks, whose exquisitely greasy lines grace some of `East Coast Funk.’” 
- Boston Herald

“...Boston Horns lay down a classic sound that is the pillar of all things good and groovy in today's onslaught of fusion.”
-  Jambase

“From jazz to funk and well beyond, the Boston Horns have it goin' on!” - All About Jazz

Life, love, and beauty abound in the music of Kree Woods.  This indie pop singer/songwriter is busy writing, recording, and performing the songs that are gaining attention and resonating with her rapidly growing fan base.  Her success has been astounding since the release of her debut 5-song EP earlier this year. Her song “Cave In” peaked at No. 10 on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts and charted in several European countries as well. “Cave In” was also featured by MTV on The Real World: Las Vegas, which prompted the esteemed music blog Kings of A&R to publish their second post about this amazing artist!

We’re very excited to follow up this success with her first full length album available Summer 2011!  Kree is currently in the studio writing and recording a new set of songs we’re sure you’re going to love!
