Album Notes

Higher Hands is a veteran quartet of heavy hitters that delivers night in and night out. The group’s spontaneous energy is clearly captured on their debut album “Grab Hold.” Blending the sounds of vintage funk, jazz fusion, and alternative hip hop, the Higher Hands bring light to the darkest corners of the dance floor.
Collectively, the band has rocked with artists including John Scofield, Cypress Hill, the Roots, and Maceo Parker, and at venues like the 8x10, Blues Alley, Ramshead Live, B.B. King’s, Nissan Pavillion, Recher Theatre, Temple Bar, the Lion’s Den, and 9:30 Club.
Having held down a successful residency for over a year at Armadillo’s in downtown Annapolis, the band has been able to kill two funky birds with one stone as they built a strong following while honing their abilities to control the dancefloor. “Grab Hold” is scheduled for release on August 1st, 2008 at the 8x10 in Baltimore MD. The band will be hitting the road this Fall to spread their neo-retro sound, so catch them while you can, as they embark on an oddysey... in the present tense... art made for the moment... forward to the future...
