Drawbar

About Drawbar

Drawbar is an organ led funk trio - albeit with tripped out musical tendencies - from the south coast town of Hastings (1066 country!). The band consists of: - Simon Ham (production & bass), who was part of CH3vy best known for their Catskills releases (big with the likes of Daddy G, Mr. Scruff and Dom Servini) - Jo Brooks (Hammond organ/keys) - Russell Field (drums & percussion) The band records with a loose collective of musicians, vocalists and dj's. They are heavily influenced by the big band/cabaret arrangers and soundtrack composers of the 60's & 70's, who's best work can be found on the library releases of UK labels such as Bosworth, KPM and DeWolf. Drawbar adopt a modernist approach to this tradition,combining the vintage sounds & instrumentation of that bygone era and incorporating a mélange of musical styles from afrobeat and hip hop to southern fried soul and funky jazz to the recipe. Drawbar is putting the organ back where it belongs: grinding at the front of the back line! www.drawbar.org
