“...I actually have to sit down after listening to this, so give me a second… ”
— Cady Drell, Boston Dig

Strange Changes is... as the name implies, impossible to define. This explosive and unpredictable big band ensemble has been rapidly expanding from its home base of Boston throughout the East Coast, Midwest and beyond. Bearing influences from transcendent composers like Frank Zappa and Charles Mingus, Strange Changes has developed a proprietary blend of funk, rock, jazz, fusion, Americana, and about any other idiom you can rattle off. This is an act you don’t want to miss, balancing high-level improvisation with stunningly tight arrangements and a free-spirited approach to the great tradition of American music. Moment to moment, song to song - there’s no telling where SC is headed next.
