Influences
LOVE , THC & CHI..Earth,Wind,Fire, (the elements and the band!) and Water....all events cosmic and earthly, internal martial arts, metaphysics, the road , mind-expanding substances , debauchery, heartbreak, birth, pain, pleasure, death, sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll, and all of the above again- as far as music we love P-FUNK, Phish, Stanley Clark, Marcus Miller, Soundtribe Sector 9, Victor Wooten, The Allman Brothers Band, Umphrey's, Les Claypool and all that he does, Disco Biscuits, Zilla, String Cheese Incedent, Bill Monroe, Santana, Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, John Coltrane, 80's pop, even some old metal & punk rock, Del Mcoury, and our Moms....."especially my mom's pancakes" , Gator......
Sounds Like
a bass and myself making sweet funky love,while a chorus of psychedelic angels play in harmony.... some sweet rumblin' & ramblin' mountain funk that's irie and blissed on the valley grass....but only the kif not the roots...although we know where we came from.....
Mixing Funk, Gypsy,Progressive-Trance-Disco, African, Latin,Reggae, Bluegrass, R&B and very psychedelic experimental jams can and will sometimes happen all in the same song for Michigan's medically home grown "GREEN CHI", (formerly based in Colorado, and formerly named Backwoods Critters) ..... In 2005,the band was touring the country at a frantic pace playing clubs, breweries, and festivals all across the United States. We are currently getting set for this coming season with a new lineup new tunes and a fresh new approach to bringing yall the jams..... COMING TO YOUR TOWN IN 2009!!!!!
The band has shared the stage with many musical legends including The Del Mcoury Band, Melvin Seals and JGB, John Cowan Band, Drew Emmit and many others.... Gator is really proud of puffing a fat bowl of AK47 with Drew Emmit!!!! That is after they jammed together as all stars of the 2005 brewglass festival,(sunshine daydeream/ terra alta, w.v.)......more to cum...(oh yes!!!!)
