CIRCLE D PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS Brian Elliot & Friends with Gettin’ Weir’d at The Rotunda – May 21

Brian Elliot is a Philadelphia-area guitarist, singer, and bandleader whose music bridges jazz sophistication with the spirit of psychedelic rock, funk, fusion, and original songwriting. A student of jazz guitar at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, Elliot quickly moved beyond straight-ahead tradition to develop a voice that is both versatile and distinct. He currently performs with EMM!, an original funk/fusion project, and Cats On The Bus, a tribute to the Dead & JGB, while also fronting the Brian Elliot Band / Brian Elliot & Friends, where wide-ranging sets of funk, blues, jazz-fusion, and New Orleans favorites come together with style and spontaneity.

Daniel Kaplowitz is a Philadelphia-area guitarist, bassist, educator, producer and composer on a constant search for new sounds and approaches to the traditions of the past. Fascinated with poly-rhythms, grooves, and harmony, Daniel’s playing is soulful, angular, fearless, and dynamic, containing elements of jazz, blues, R&B, rock and African rhythms, while being rooted in the sound and pulse of Philadelphia.

Jeff Mann is most known musically for holding down the drum throne in instrumental prog rock group Consider the Source for the past 13 years. Together they have toured across the US multiple times, played a myriad of music festivals and also made international jaunts to India, Israel & Germany. Locally, Jeff has become a newer member of the Philly music scene, moving to the South NJ area less than 5 years ago. He has been quick to make an impact with his famed “Learn 2 Ween” 2-man tribute where he multi tasked drums, bass, keys & vocals as well as for having filled in/joined on drums and percussion with both cover and original bands in the area. More recently, Jeff has launched a new project called EMM focusing on uplifting funk and groove based material with an album of all original music in the works.

Along with his work in the good ole Grateful Dead, they also feature Bob’s work in Kingfish, Bobby and the Midnites, Ratdog and solo projects right up to the present day… Of course, served up with a good helping of Grateful Dead songs, too.
