Artist description If you took every kind of music you've ever heard, threw it in a blender and added a poet named Moonbeam, the result would be Napier's Bones. The Seattle-based band is an amalgamation of styles ranging from rock, blues and jazz to reggae , psychedelic and tribal sounds. Napier's Bones feature 13 instruments played by 6 guys who have a big sound combined with an organic, grassroots approach to their music. The band's influences include the mainstream and eclectic, but the finished product is clearly original and difficult to categorize. The band comes to life on stage, often choosing to abandon set lists altogether and re-create songs in the middle of playing them. Jamming is the magic ingredient in Napier's Bones, making every performance spontaneous and unique. This jazz-influenced improvisational technique is always fresh and often incendiary. Needless to say, not all musicians have the talent to pull this off, but Napier's Bones deliver the goods. Crowds often find themselves mesmerized when the band is in the middle of one of its trademark jams. With all 6 of the members writing songs and 5 of them singing, the band enjoys a creative surge that is never-ending and continuously evolving. Unlike most bands that rely on one or two singer-songwriters these guys are a prolific, versatile, energetic group that values the living, breathing dynamic of the music above all else. When combined with the bands' natural chemistry and spiritual unity, the result is truly inspired. Songs like "We Belong," "Caught Up," "Remains," "Tumbleweed," and "Without A Sound" span a wide range of emotions, fueled by a deep, soulful passion that transports the band ---- and the listener ---- on a most memorable journey.

Artist History Napier's Bones started out playing in a barn in Issaquah, WA. and from that humble beginning the band is now emerging as a nationally acclaimed talent. They earned a coveted slot opening the H.O.R.D.E. tour at the Gorge with such luminaries as Blues Traveler, Barenaked Ladies, Fastball and Ben Harper. They played at the popular House of Blues in Los Angeles. Locally, they've played two sold out shows with Chris Isaak at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, as well as other premier venues up and down the West Coast. Napier's Bones have distinguished themselves as a superb group live, as evidenced by their burgeoning fan base, which they are winning over one state at a time.
