Psychojazz electric fiddle trip funk. Taking fusion and progressive jamrock to the 22nd century.

notes

Stratospheerius is the illegitimate child of Dave Matthews, Frank Zappa, Bela Fleck and Medeski, Martin and Wood. Lead by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Deninzon, Stratospheerius has showcased their "psychojazz trip funk" at colleges, festivals, and clubs throughout the US. Often referred to as the 'Jimi Hendrix of the violin", Joe has worked with artists ranging from Sheryl Crow, Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple, Everclear, and Smokey Robinson. The New York-based group has been heavily involved in the jam band scene, sharing bills with groups like The Slip, Ekoostik Hookah, and John Scofield. Their live performances are filled with funky dance grooves, rip-roaring guitar/violin jams, and hooks that melt the paint off of walls; while jazz, funk, hip hop, and world music are mixed to create a "stratospheric" musical experience. Having received heavy radio airplay and critical acclaim all over the US, Canada, South America, Japan, and Europe, they have just released "Live Wires", which captures the energy of their explosive live shows!

  • Awesome songs, great musicianship
    author: Ron

    Adventures of Stratospheerius takes you on a wild, extremely enjoyable ride across several genres of music, from funk to pop, from fusion to straight jazz. Joe's virtuosity is almost unparalleled. His band holds up its share of the bargain by supplying a tight rhythym section with very catchy licks and great hooks.

  • "...one of the tightest jam bands you'll ever hear."
    author: Jordan

    Stratospheerius is without doubt, one of the tightest jam bands you'll ever hear. A heavy dose of raw blues funk topped with addictive hooks and jazz licks makes for the perfect blend of catchy grooves that'll keep this album in your cd player for awhile.
