SEED is the funky new sound growing strong roots in Eastern Connecticut since 2009. This emerging four-piece boasts a dance party packed with exciting, new, genre-bending sounds we like to call Progressive Funk! Seed has found a sound that blends the modern day psychedelic rock, with a funk/fusion of saxophone fx and electronics. These songs cover the full spectrum, drifting from the intricate, mixed-meter sounds of Umphrey’s McGee, to the catchy head-bobbing horn lines of Lettuce and Maceo Parker. Seed is Travis Pihlman(guitar), Chris West(bass and vocals), Derek Joly(sax, keys and vocals) and Mike ‘House’ Aubin(drums).
Now in their second year, Seed has already built some very quick momentum, performing all across the Northeast. In this time the group has found themselves playing to thousands at the Wormtown and Strange-Creek Music Festivals(MA), Great Bay Festival(NH), Disc Jam Festival(MA), The Big Up(NY), Heads and Harmony Festival(ME) Jibberjazz’s Midsummer Meltdown(PA) and many more, while sharing the stage with Sam Kininger, G. Love, Kung Fu, Dopapod, The Macpodz, Consider The Source and Mark Mercier.
