“One of the best live soul bands I have ever seen!” – Al Bell (Record producer, songwriter, executive, and co-owner of legendary Stax Records)

Raised amid the rich musical culture and history of the San Francisco Bay Area,
Monophonics proudly carry the torch through the generations into today’s musical landscape. Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as “Psychedelic Soul.” The 2012 release of Monophonics last album In Your Brain saw the band pulling influences from such acts as early Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone and the The Temptation's Norman Whitfield produced records. With the new album, Sound of Sinning (April 1, 2015 on Transistor Sound Records), the band has grown in all areas of record making and felt a need to explore other important influences.

While the group has come to cherish these inspirations, With Sound of
Sinning they started venturing beyond, to the groups that were inspiring those
soul acts to embrace the psychedelic sound of the 60's and 70's. Bands such as The Zombies, The Beatles, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Even with the experimentation of new musical territory, they display the sound that people know and love about Monophonics. Touching on Northern soul, doo-wop, rock and roll, Psych pop, and cinematic music, Monophonics show off their diversity while remaining true to their roots. Overall it's heartfelt music and old school vibes, without losing sight of the present. This is is music steeped in that timeless feeling when people could write and produce songs that you could listen to over and over again. Sound of Sinning was produced by Kelly Finnigan & Ian McDonald and recorded on an old Tascam eight-track 1/4” tape machine at Transistor Sound Studios in San Rafael, CA.

Monophonics is Austin Bohlman (Drums), Myles O’Mahony (Bass/Background
Vocals), Ian McDonald (Guitar/Background Vocals), Ryan Scott (Trumpet/Background Vocals/Percussion) & Kelly Finnigan (Keys/Lead Vocals) along with a rotating 2nd horn usually filled by Nadav Nirenberg (Trombone) from Ikebe Shakedown and Breakdown Brass.

Known as the founder of one of the world's first symphonic metal bands After Forever at the age of 15 and one of The Netherlands' most successful artists, Floor Jansen defied all odds. Graduated from the first class of the Rock Academy (together with Danny Vera & Krezip)  and classically trained she adds a special touch to any song she performs. She is  one of the very few - if not only - female singers who can sing with an operatic approach, pop, rock and even grunting.

As the front singer of Nightwish, one of the world's biggest metal bands, she entered fame with her performance of Ghost Love Score - Live, at Wacken, 2013. The world had gotten to know her skills, but her home country was lagging behind. This all changed when Floor Jansen hit the charts with her performance of Phantom Of The Opera together with Henk Poort on the Dutch TV Show 'Beste Zangers'. 

Soon after this performance she announced a club tour ending with a headline show in AFAS Live of 6000 people which sold out within 24 hours. Not long after, she received an invitation to play a headline show on Pinkpop, one of The Netherlands' biggest festivals.

From one moment to the other she became a sensation and time will tell what happens next.
