Band Bio
Squeaky Feet is redefining the prog rock & jam-band experience with their electrifying blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and dance grooves. Combining inspiration from giants such as King Crimson, Weather Report, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Rush with the modern improvisational ethos of Phish, Umphrey’s McGee, and Dopapod, the Denver-based quintet captivates audiences with high-energy performances that transcend genre boundaries. Seamlessly weaving triumphant solos, intricate rhythms, and exploratory improvisation, Squeaky Feet delivers a sonic journey that leaves listeners enthralled and live audiences in awe. Founded in 2019 by Berklee College of Music alumni, Squeaky Feet has rapidly built a devoted fanbase, thanks to their unparalleled musicianship, nationwide touring, and festivals. The band’s lineup—Colin Shore (guitar/vocals), Greg King (guitar), Jimmy Finnegan (bass/vocals), Brian Keller (keyboards/sax/flute/vocals), and Kevin D’Angelo (drums)—showcases a collective virtuosity that sets them apart in the jam scene. Their 2023 debut studio album, *Cause for Alarm*, named Eclipse Magazine’s Album of the Month in 2024, is an 80-minute odyssey of progressive rock and jazz fusion. The album features bold improvisation and contributions from renowned guitarist Mark Lettieri on the lead single, “Tunnel Vision.” Fresh off the release of their two new singles, Irish Goodbye and Brainrot, Squeaky Feet continues to build anticipation for their upcoming album, *Overview Effect*, set to drop on October 10th. With this new project, they sharpen their sonic edge and present their most cohesive musical statement to date. With wide-ranging influences and a reputation for creating immersive musical experiences, Squeaky Feet is charting a path to the forefront of modern jam bands, one mind-bending performance at a time.
Family Groove Company integrates the groove sensibility developed by funk/jazz crossover artists like Herbie Hancock and Medeski, Martin, and Wood, with thoughtful, tight songwriting that takes cues from the likes of Steely Dan and the Beatles. The result? An infectious sound the band calls "groove informed jazz/rock." Defined by rich analog keyboards, tight crunchy guitar, and a pocket-based rhythm section, FGC brings a fresh sound that bends genres and dares the listener not to dance. The band got its start in Los Angeles, where the four members met in music school, and then planted its roots in Chicago in late 2002. In the span of their career, FGC has played over 1000 shows from coast to coast, logging stage time in more than 350 venues in 34 states. Notable performances include 19 straight years at Summer Camp Festival in Illinois, rocking large Chicago stages like the Riviera Theater and Vic Theatre, and playing alongside heavyweights like Victor Wooten, moe., Umphrey’s McGee, and Lotus. The band’s discography includes five full length albums, Reachin’, The Charmer, Live in Chicago, Models and Metrics, and Through with Tomorrow.
