Higher Hands is a veteran quartet of heavy hitters that delivers night in and night out. The group’s spontaneous energy is clearly captured on their debut album “Grab Hold”, independently released on August 1st 2008 @ the 8x10 in Baltimore/MD. Blending the sounds of vintage funk, jazz fusion, and alternative hip hop, the Higher Hands bring light to the darkest corners of the dance floor. Collectively the band has rocked with artists including John Scofield, Cypress Hill, The Roots, and Maceo Parker, and at venues like Blues Alley, B.B. King’s, Merriweather Post Pavillion, Nissan Pavillion, 9:30 Club, 8x10 Club, Recher Theatre, the State Theatre, The Lion’s Den, Temple Bar, and Ramshead Live. Having held down a successful residency for over a year at Armadillo’s in downtown Annapolis, the band has been able to kill two funky birds with one stone as they built a strong crowd while honing their abilities to control the dancefloor. Catch them while you can, as they embark on an oddysey... in the present tense... art made for the moment... forward to the future..

alright, so people always say happy hump day for Wednesdays. I think its just as strange to say happy Uphill on Tuesdays, or happy Downhill on Thursdays, but i've never ever seen or heard anyone wish that. -Brandon
