Galactic Cowboy Orchestra was started in 2009 by founding member/bass player John Wright. The band was born out of a desire to play technically challenging music derived from John’s influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dixie Dregs and King Crimson, to name a few. Wright enlisted the aid of guitarist Dan Neale, who brought to the table many deep Jazz influences in his advanced playing and composing style. Along with the band’s first drummer, Mark O'Day the beginnings of Galactic Cowboy Orchestra were found. Soon after, violinist (and John’s wife) Lisi Wright joined the band with her aggressive "electric guitar player plays violin" style and engaging stage presence to complete the band’s sound and look. Fast forward 12 years: 5 studio releases (and one live), two Downbeat Nominations, a Minnesota Arts Tour Grant, collaborations with symphony orchestras, thousands of miles of touring and the band is just getting started. 2021 sees the GCO with a new drummer in Mario Dawson, a new studio release and a stronger than ever ethic to create the ultimate musical moment between the players and the audience with their Art Rock/Jazz Fusion creations.
What other bands do we sound like? We have been compared to King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dixie Dregs, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
PBD is a feral child lost in the no-man's land between rock, jazz, and gospel. With intricate arrangements surrounded with improvisational opportunities, PBD is allowed the space to explore and challenge their own expectations of what is music.
Comprised of Aaron Pridmore (keys/vocals), Thom Bissey (bass/vocals) and Todd Drazien (drums/interpretive dance), PBD regularly ignores yesterday’s favorites and today's hits in favor of Pridmore’s original ramblings.
While currently supporting their latest release “Highflying Boy”, available on all music platforms, PBD is also working on their next project, a live release featuring Todd’s historied Steinway piano.
PBD is known for being a “listening room” band, but people have been observed tapping their toes on several occasions.
“You guys are what would happen if Chick Corea and Ben Folds went to a Baptist tent revival and had a baby…well three babies” - Observant drunk guy at the last PBD show
