notes

Greetings from Northern California, home of Humboldt County's own groove rockers, Kulica.

Kulica plays home-made groove rockin' soul-shaking music that is gaining popularity at a rapid pace throughout our region. Kulica's style is a delicate mixture of Dave Matthews Band-like melodies with Jack Johnson and Ben Harper's soulful rhythms, including inspiring lyrics in the same vein as Van Morrison and David Gray,with a hint of Doobie Brothers thrown in for good measure.

Kulica is lead by singer/songwriter/guitarist Curtis Thompson, former bass player of Acoustic Junction (Capricorn Records).After the break up of Acoustic Junction in 2000, Curtis decided to continue his passion for music. With his guitar in one hand and a pencil and paper in the other, Curtis started writing songs for Kulica with his wife, Julie on the bass. Next we found Jason Hodel,who plays the acoustic and electric mandolin and brings with him an eclectic background of influences. Dave Sandomeno plays percussion and Nick Moore lays down the drums. The combination of groove,rock,funk,folk and soul shaking rhythms is an amazing blend that helps give Kulica its signature style.

Kulica's success is best demonstrated by our performance history. Since 2003, Kulica has had the distinct pleasure of opening for such acts as DAVID CROSBY, LITTLE FEAT, THE NEVILLE BROTHERS, LEFTOVER SALMON, RUSTED ROOT'S singer/songwriter MICHAEL GLIBICKI and country legend MERLE HAGGARD. Our diversity enables us to play everything from small coffee shops to mid-size breweries to large festivals, winning crowds over in a variety of music genres wherever we go. Since that time, we have been featured on countless radio stations such as KFOG,KHUM, KHSU, and KSLG radio stations with both live and recorded performances. World Class Rock radio station KFOG, in the San Francisco Bay area, has featured us on "New Release Thursday" and "Acoustic Sunrise Sunday mornings." In 2004 Kulica's song "GROOVE" was included on KFOG's "Local Scene" CD (along with artists such as Jackie Greene, and Michael Franti of Spearhead) which sold over 10,000 copies and all proceeds went to MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS TODAY!

We are very proud as a band that we have a positive impact wherever we play. Whether you're eight or eighty years old, Kulica can offer you music to refresh your soul and get you groovin'.

  • I am Kulica's newest fan!
    author: Karen

    Songs that play in my head all day to keep me smilin'! It's just great music! I love it!

  • Eclectic mix of brilliant original works!
    author: Tom Geller

    I found it to be a refreshing change. Each cut stands on its' own. Hard to classify this album but I'm sure it will find it's niche. I guess I would call it a celebration of vast musical ideas.

  • A beautiful transaction

  • When I listen to this CD, it makes me feel mellow and excited at the same time!

    When I listen to this CD, it makes me feel mellow and excited at the same time! It's smooth, upbeat, and gentle music. Here is a group which will renew your hope for the future of music and musical groups. Add to their influences a little bit of Carlos Santana. If you get the chance to hear the group live, it will be a treat! They sound just like they do on the CD - never unbalanced, never too loud. This is all original music, folks. Curtis is quite a talent. Bottom line: Buy the CD!

    Wow! To hear a mandolin again. Nice sounds from the band. Even my 13 year old daughter enjoyed the cuts, particularly the 1st cut on the CD. Kudos to you all.

  • Great band - feel good groove
    author: Ro Davis

    First heard the band at a free concert in Arcata. They had 'em dancing on the lawn. I really like the dance tunes, but all the tracks have something to offer. The music is good and reminds me of a lot of great sounds from the past -- not an imitation, but a new synthesis all their own.

  • a must have
    author: k raesch

    heard them on Kfog and just had to have the album. It's a great cd to play while sailing on the bay

  • Great music. Great groove. Buy it -buy it now!
    author: Bobby Cupp

    Nice to hear something as new and great as Kulica. I've been telling my family about them since I first heard them on KFOG. They have now heard the CD many-many times.

  • The music is great, I listen to it all the time.

    I received my kulica CD a couple of days ago. I have listened to it a few times, and really enjoy it. Keep up the good work. What i would really like to hear you do also, is rework some of the golden oldies like Mama Cass did in "Dream A Little Dream Of ME:
