Knuf

Not far from where gold was first discovered in the Sierra Foothills, a band calling itself Knuf has emerged with similarly auspicious tidings. When they hit the stage, they attack each moment with laser-focused intensity. Influences from certain legendary jambands are evident, yet they are committed to applying their own strokes to the canvas. Tasty improv jams are led by liquid guitar and propelled by a forceful rhythm section. If only dancing was always this easy.

There is no shortage of bands that can jam, but Knuf sets itself apart with a remarkable vocal presence led by guitarist Matt Gillies. The man is oozing with soul and swagger. He can suddenly shift into Motown mode and leave you with your jaw on the floor. It seems that every time the band returns to the Crazy Horse, they are intent on making a new statement on the direction of their sound. Last time they embraced their true identity as a jamband with a complex, muti-layered approach. On this occasion they’re bringing some extra heat in the form of special guests CJ Clark on sax and vocals!
