Strumbucket
Strumbucket is a five-piece "twang-funk" band from Jackson, Wyoming known for their colorful multi-genre live shows. Their original music weaves together funky bass grooves, banjo twang, latin jazz fusion, synth pychedelia, and soaring guitar.
Forming in 2017, the band has grown outside the local Jackson music scene, playing everything from rowdy bars, local venues, and outdoor concert series. Along the way, the band has supported acts including JoJo Herman, Geese, Fruition, DJ Williams' Shots Fired, the Nth Power, Ghost of Paul Revere, Polyrhythmics, Y La Bamba and Diggin’ Dirt.
The band consists of Peter Henderson (drums), Lavender Jones (bass, vocals), Grove Miller (synths), Pat Bottini (lead guitar), and Alex Blackwelder (banjo, lead vocals). The band released their new full length album "Chest Vessel Beats" in February 2024 and a new EP "Friends Like You" in October 2024.
Strumbucket is influenced by the likes of Little Feat, The Band, Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads, The Meters, and Ween.
