"Five Eyed Hand" is an eclectic collaboration of veteran musicians who have joined forces to create a unique musical experience. Throughout the years they have each shared the stage with one another in a variety of different musical endeavors. Now, in 2007, these musicians have formed a new and exciting musical friendship. By combining their impressive musical backgrounds, original material, unique takes on cover tunes, and playful artistry, Five Eyed Hand has begun to make serious waves in the Bay Area music scene.
This musical association generates psychedelic rock with a jazz roots approach. With this diverse group of musicians you'll definitely be surprised as one moment your dancing to some hard bopping jazz swing, soul soothing ballads, or tasty funk rock grooves and then the next moment you see percussionist Derek Bodkin step away from the drum kit and pull out the acoustic guitar or banjo to share his original acoustic songs and unique finger picking style.
"Fiddler Mikey" Henderson, a virtuoso on Electric Violin and Mandolin, has been known to the Bay Area music scene since the early 90s. He is best known from the Santa Cruz based band Grampas Chili and toured extensively through California and beyond. Fiddler Mikey brings his amazing ear and mind blowing rhythmic melodies to this project. Bass master Jeb Taylor comes from a variety of local projects and lends his amazing sonic touch with highly impressive harmonic vocabulary to create an extraordinary groove. Chris Zanardi, on his Gibson ES-135 guitar, is like no other. Over the years Chris has spawned many musical acts most recently with the band somethingfour. You will hear lots of orginal compositions and non-stop musical energy from this 6 stringer.
This band is capable of anything and are often joined by incredible guest artists. Each member brings their own compositions, technical skills and unique improvisational energy to this lineup to help propel the music and the listener into the stratosphere.
