Artist description Straub Effect is a new band from Madison,WI with a creative roots-centered groove. Despite its youth, the band is not at all lacking in experience. From Memphis, TN to the East Coast, the members of Straub Effect have developed into experienced performers. Their music applies elements of Jazz, Blues, and Folk to the mix. Over a short time, Straub Effect has developed into an experiment of sound - a groove that doesn't cater to one interest, but instead presents wide appeal.
