Brad Fritcher's MOODS is a conduit for in the moment, spontaneous composition and fearless improvisation. Weaving modern psychedelic progressions inside the smoky air of be-bop and Motown, chased by earthy folk melodies, the melancholic sway of indie rock, and the driving momentum of DnB rhythms.

Concept? Think Thelonious Monk and Roy Hargrove trading over a Madlib beat, Charles Mingus collaborating with Radiohead, Lee Morgan vibing with Medeski, Martin & Wood or Bela Bartok composing with Aphex Twin. But ultimately, Brad is a genre unto himself, defying labels and expectations by allowing the present moment to define the next move. MOODS pays deep homage to the great musical contributions of the Black American musical canon.  

Catch MOODS live, and prepare to be swept away. MOODS is a vibe, emotional, kaleidoscope of sound, and a journey through the wildest realms of experimentation. Prepare to be surprised, to be challenged, and ultimately, to be transported to a place where music is reborn and infused with the magic of the unexpected.
