Bio:
Live in New York City, C Phineas is the new sound of soul music. Never before have elements of the Roots, John Coltrane and James Brown come together to create this powerful sound. Never hiding behind computers, this band is dedicated to performing and recording their own live music. Blending rap, improvisation and old-school soul, C Phineas ignites the future of popular music with an energy that could never be produced by machine.
Drummer, composer and producer Chris Smith started C Phineas, composing creative music geared to the ears of current pop culture. He didn't have to look far to find young trained musicians excited about the concept.
Jonathon Celestin (vocals), DiMaggio (EmCee), Brian Robertson (keyboard), Josh Paris (bass), Jacob Rodriguez (bari sax), Lars Dietrich (alto sax) and Sam Ryder (tenor sax) come complete with a wide range of personal and musical aspects. Each musician is as diverse as New York City. The fictional creation of C Phineas the man can be envisioned as an Irish, African, Dutch and Mexican descendant who loves football, Disney music, Xbox, jazz, and 20th century German Literature. Living on a sheep farm in Holland, he has a phobia of oranges. If this man actually exists we may never know but surely he is at every C Phineas show. In a society desperately seeking common ground on anything, the members of C Phineas fuse their unique backgrounds and find common ground in creating amazing music.
With the launch of their self-titled EP, the music of C Phineas created buzz in New York City. Don't miss their live show, where energy and improvisation makes each show a unique event.
