Artist History Flowmotion has grown out of the great Pacific Northwest and the beautiful San Juan Islands. It all began when guitarist Josh Clauson, drummer Colby Styles and some FlowMo friends jammed their way into the world famous San Juan Island Jazz Festival, playing at a local bistro for the weekend. The faithful locals, being overwhelmed by jazz music, were hungry for some meaty funk, which these guys provided. It wasn't long before Jesse Kansanbach, Beau Borrero, and Jason Holden joined in and Flowmotion was immediately a local favorite, playing gigs all over Northwest Washington in just a few short months. Within a year these guys have toured Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and parts of Canada, playing hotspots like Sun Valley, Seattle, and San Juan Island's Summer Meltdown. Keep your eyes out, Flowmotion will be in your neighborhood very soon.
