Doug Wood opens for Eclectica @Cain Park 7.17

From CoolCleveland.com: It's extraordinarily funky, an intense hybrid of sounds and influence and a beast in terms of virtuosity. It's a band called Eclectica — talk about truth in advertising! — and the band's Streaming Video Soul is flexibly adventurous at the absolute least. Featuring Julliard alum/ violin "child prodigy" Tracy Silverman and 5–time Grammy Award winning drummer Roy "Futureman" Wooten (of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones), Eclectica buoys their tunes with fat grooves, sing-along choruses and incredibly inventive jams. Make no mistake: the trio has a wide appeal; and yet their sound is likely to draw in fans of Dave Matthews Band just as easily as it does more sophisticated alt-jazz types who like Medeski Martin & Wood.
Eclectica performs at Cain Park this Friday, July 17 at 8PM with special guests Doug Wood and Darren Frate from Watts Gnu! Hear samples of Eclectica's work here.
