The Decker Bandits
New Grazz Jam Dance
About
The Decker Bandits deliver a catchy blend of song writing while weaving in elements of all genres of music. Up front they may appear to be a "bluegrass outfit" (acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass) add a drummer and they are bound to make you dance. Their standout musicianship allows for on the spot improvisation turning every performance into something new. With these spontaneous detours the group is constantly communicating on stage and you can feel the excitement as they venture into uncharted territory. The Bandits strive for tasteful harmonies (everyone sings) and tight changes that will keep you entertained! Come enjoy the moment!
What People Say
"You bring out the creativity and personal expression of the people. It’s a wonderfully energetic event like an 1860s Euro-American wagon that rolls into town spilling color and sound into the streets awakening the dreary city with sounds of nomadic, vaudevillian, steam punk, an eclectic grassroots movement mixed up with gypsy jazz and sprinkled in with some Frank Zappaesque brilliance. Then as quickly and seamlessly as the magical tapestry is rolled out, it is rolled back up again into the steamer trunks and back onto the wagon as the party rolls on down the road to the next town...Leaving behind a few flower pedals, sequence, colorful paper confetti or perhaps a haphazard discarded article of colorful clothing upon the grayscale cityscape…."
-Ed the Cowboy (Ed Crowell)
