Description

According to Bazooka plays a free concert in Downtown Auburn, now hosted by the Downtown Business Association. It's a family friendly show at the lovely Central Square at the crossroads of Lincoln Way and High Street near the Nectar Cafe. Hang out, grab a snack, and sing along to the catchy songwriting of A2B. The band's original music is inspired by daily life in northern California. A little bit folky, a little bit jazzy with pop, rock & roll sensibilities, their sound has a familiar feel of music of the past. The result is a unique sound and an inviting musical experience. Lush harmony, guitar, harmonica, accordion, violin, keyboards, upright bass and drums bring these songs to life with a timeless vibe that blends catchy melodies with clever lyrics and authentic stories.
According to Bazooka’s vibrant Americana-pop infused sound blurs the lines of American roots music like rock, folk, blues, jazz, pop and zydeco. Their unique show features well-crafted tunes, rich harmonies and irresistible "retro-pop" melodies. This fusion of sound grew out of the original instrumentation of the band which included an accordion and a bouzouki, hence the name According to Bazooka. Band members Don Johnston, Jamie Knapp, René Martucci, and Richard Urbino bring together a varied group of influences that draws heavily California’s rich musical landscape.
Their unique vintage instruments always grab the attention of the audience both visually and sonically. It is quite inventive to find an accordion, upright bass, and random percussion instruments, mixed with elegant 3 part vocal harmonies.
An ease with the art of storytelling lifts According to Bazooka to an even higher place. They write songs that every listener can relate to while happily swaying along. Wrapped in catchy, singable melodies, these vignettes come with an ‘easy come, easy go’ perspective on the absurdities of life that we all share.
