Greg Herriges – guitar, bouzouki, vocals

rundio – Chapman stick, electronics

Michael Bissonnette – drums and percussion

Three uniquely talented musicians join to combine ancient and modern, East and West, into a stirring mix of “progressive world music” with futuristic flavors. Greg Herriges plays (and sings into) his guitar and Greek bouzouki with a unique approach honed by his studies of Asian and other international styles. Rundio represents the 21st century with Chapman Stick, a 10-stringed tapped instrument that sings like a bass, a piano, an electronic orchestra, and sometimes all at once. Michael Bissonnette juggles an array of percussion including cajon, frame drums, glockenspiel, and Aztec death whistle. The music ranges from ancient Mediterranean folk to Western pop, worldly surf-jazz, and dazzling all-of-the-above originals. You’ll hear unusual renditions of familiar tunes, and be treated to some of the most compelling new sounds.

Greg Herriges – guitar, bouzouki, vocals

rundio – Chapman stick, electronics

Michael Bissonnette – drums and percussion

Three uniquely talented musicians join to combine ancient and modern, East and West, into a stirring mix of “progressive world music” with futuristic flavors. Greg Herriges plays (and sings into) his guitar and Greek bouzouki with a unique approach honed by his studies of Asian and other international styles. Rundio represents the 21st century with Chapman Stick, a 10-stringed tapped instrument that sings like a bass, a piano, an electronic orchestra, and sometimes all at once. Michael Bissonnette juggles an array of percussion including cajon, frame drums, glockenspiel, and Aztec death whistle. The music ranges from ancient Mediterranean folk to Western pop, worldly surf-jazz, and dazzling all-of-the-above originals. You’ll hear unusual renditions of familiar tunes, and be treated to some of the most compelling new sounds.
