Mohave

Essentially serving as a soundtrack to the stories told by the band, a wide range of musical styles can be found within the songs of Mohave. With roots in the African/American Indian heritage of frontman Bing Futch, the core of the music takes slave chants and spirituals, ceremonial percussiveness and tribal beats, mixing them together with the celtic thunder and southeastern bluegrass tones of the Appalachian mountain dulcimer. Indigenous folk music from all over the world gets woven into the tapestry, with a number of international instruments contributing to the world-beat vibe.

Indigenous folk music from all over the world gets woven into the tapestry, with a number of international instruments contributing to the world-beat vibe. Tunes that deal with dusty drunk tanks, star-crossed robbers, Irish immigrants, conflicted bombers, spicy food, interminable interstates and ill-fated gators get appropriate dashes of Dixieland, progressive rock, pop, country, blues, jazz , Tex-Mex, zydeco and soundtrack music.

An ever-changing line-up of tribe members swirls around core songwriter Futch, making each live performance and recording an unveiled surprise. The group, in its many permutations, has performed at the Walt Disney World House of Blues, Hard Rock Live at Universal Studios Florida, the Central Florida Fair, the Orlando Fringe Festival, The Bamboo Room, Freebird Live and has opened for national acts THE CRESTS, MOLLY HATCHET, SUBJECT TO CHANGE and WRONG.

With a hot combination of fun, compelling stories and catchy tunes, Mohave delivers a tasty table of good-timing, positive music!
