Influences
Sounds LikeAn Organically Fused Acoustic Alternative! Being fans of artists like The Decemberists, Radiohead, Ween, as well as singer-songwriters like Shawn Colvin, John Hiatt, Steve Earle, ARGANIK covers them with their own twist. Reaching back to the grunge era for some Pearl Jam or Stone Temple Pilots and then maybe some Ween or even a funky soul number. Appropriately unpredictable, Arganik weaves a musical web that makes for an enjoyable show!
