Squeaky Feet is a modern jam band known for their “prog-rock with a pocket”. The Denver, CO based quintet rewards listeners with full-flavor sonic marinade and consistently jaw-dropping performances. Guided by the 70’s prog-gods of improvisation, rock pioneers Squeaky Feet rip between dance/trance, progressive rock, and jazz fusion while beaming ahead to the future. The band delivers high-energy songs stacked with deep rhythm, triumphant solos, and exploratory improv taking listeners on a mind-altering journey through space-time while leaving live audiences in a state of amazement. Recent highlights include a double-night sell out with Dogs in a Pile at The Bluebird (Denver, CO), a sold-out show at Cervantes’ (Denver, CO), and the release of their debut record “Cause for Alarm” featuring Mark Lettieri of Snarky Puppy.
Conceived within the walls of Berklee College of Music, its members relocated to Denver in 2018. Squeaky Feet’s exploratory nature and tasteful virtuosity has led the band to a rapidly growing fanbase across the world. Comprised of world-class musicians Colin Shore (guitar/vocals), Greg King (guitar), Jimmy Finnegan (bass/vocals), Brian Keller (keyboards/sax/flute/vocals), and Kevin D’Angelo (drums), it’s crystal clear Squeaky Feet has something to prove.
The band’s debut studio album “Cause For Alarm”, recently released in 2023, is an electrifying testament to Squeaky Feet's extraordinary musicianship, genre-blending prowess, and impressively innovative approach to music. An 80-minute rollercoaster of exploration, “Cause for Alarm” moves effortlessly between progressive rock and jazz-fusion while preserving the authenticity of improv-based music. The astute listener will hear the influence of King Crimson, Umphrey’s McGee, Rush, and Snarky Puppy.
