Portland's Commotion has kept heads turning and asses shaking since it's 2007 formation. How do they turn heads? With impressive improvisation and live sound experimentation! And asses shaking? With deep, driving, danceable, organic grooves that draw inspiration from music throughout the globe.
The group features some of Portland's most progressive and versatile musicians: Ben Darwish (keys), Chris Mosley (guitars), Sam Howard (bass), Russ Kleiner (drums), and a rotating cast of killing horn players and percussionists. Members of Commotion also perform with artists such as Ohmega Watts, Curtis Salgado, Blue Cranes, Echo Helstrom, and March Fourth Marching Band to name a few.
