EDUCATED GUESS: Educated Guess is an innovative and energetic fusion trio from Boone, North Carolina. Their improv-rich music is a unique blend of jazz, hip-hop, and rock filtered through the gospel upbringing of all three members. The trio works closely together to create trance-like grooves, otherworldy harmonic landscapes, and driving infectious funk.
