We are Bohemian Sunrise. We're from South Jersey, near Philadelphia. There's a core four or five guys and one Adina in the band, but often have a few special guests join us on stage. We've got a raw, rhythmic sound - the kind you get all sweaty and primal to. Bands often say their music is different - ours really is. Even from one song to the next. A little bit funky, somewhat jazzy, with structured songs that stealthily jam into one another, with some afro-cuban tribal beats thrown in. We strive to make our music original, like nothing that's on the radio. Our music is heavily influenced by world rhythms: especially Salsa, Calypso, Afro-Cuban, Bossa, Tribal Drumming, and we'll even throw in some Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Reggae, and Funk every so often.
In our years as a band, we've done lots of cool shows (benefits, festivals, hotel-parties...), traveled to many great places (NY, NJ, NC, MD, PA, Tweeter Center, Electric Factory, TLA, World Cafe Live, Funk Box, Tribeca, Hookah Lounge...), played with really AMAZING artists: Rusted Root, The Other Ones, Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers, String Cheese Incident, Vince Welnick, The Recipe, Jazz Mandolin Project, Vinyl, Townhall, Cabin Dogs..., and met SO MANY wonderful and interesting people!
We have independently released three full-length albums. Most recently, 'It's in the Cards', which was officially released in 2007 at the World Cafe Live Downstairs in Philly, PA. Philly Edge says, "Using world beats punctuated with jamband optimism and jazzy instrumentation, South Jersey-based Bohemian Sunrise creates songs of both musical and lyrical depth..." In 2003, we released our 2nd album, 'intoxicating', which was recorded live to over 200 fans at Indre Studios. An Honest Tune even voted intoxicating a Top Ten CD, saying, "World Beats and sinewy rhythm and blues blend together to create a parking lot masterpiece." Our first album, 'Soulstice', was released in 2000. Check out our live stuff at archive.org and bohemiansunrise.com/av.
