We were given the honor in hosting this one of a kind listening experience in our garden! Shoutout to Andrew Gough!
Punkadelick is a trio performing and recording on instruments familiar in symphony halls.
Internationally known musicians Mike Dillon, Nikki Glaspie and Brian Haas explore sonic pathways with an
electric vibraphone, marimba, mallet kat, Fender Rhodes, Bass Moog, tabla and drums. Albums include electric
bass marimba, chimes, orchestral bells, timpani and xylophone.
Mike Dillon’s has recorded and produced 33 albums spanning his orchestral punk rock discography. He performs
with Les Claypool’s Bastard Jazz with Stanton Moore and Skerik. He has toured with Rickie Lee Jones for 9 years.
Nikki Glaspie leads the Nth Power and is a member of Snarky Puppy. She toured with Beyonce, Dumpstaphunk
and Maceo Parker.
Brian Haas is the founder of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey. Haas and Dillon are proud members of Nolatet, featuring
Johnny Vidacovich and James Singleton.
Mike Dillon founded The New Orleans Percussion Consortium in 2014, an annual project that includes Jason
Marsalis, Matt Chamberlain, Stanton Moore, and Earl Harvin . This 14-person percussion ensemble learns and
performs original compositions of Dillon, an epic experience that shifts symphonic rock and contemporary jazz
onto an international stage.
“I grew up listening to Frank Zappa. When I got to North Texas, Doctor Schietroma's graduate percussion ensemble played
arrangements of Zappa. I eventually played percussion in Doc's Ensemble.
Many percussionists have incredible four mallet chops from drum core and advanced level of high school and college
marimba curriculum. I want those bad mofo's to come to our shows and be inspired to start their own band. We need more
lead vibraphonists to break the lead guitar monopoly. A vibraphone bar with a K&K pick up is real heavy metal!"
