New Monsoon - with Jimbo Scott

San Francisco rock quintet New Monsoon is the collaborative vehicle for the vocal and instrumental prowess of founding members Bo Carper (acoustic guitar and banjo), Jeff Miller (electric guitar) and Phil Ferlino (keys). Now well into its second decade of national touring, the band also features the muscular rhythm section of Marshall Harrell (electric bass) and Michael Pinkham (drums).

New Monsoon’s exhilarating blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation shines in an irresistible blend of sophisticated song craft, inventive musical exploration and down home rock-n-roll. “They have a collective power that comes off as a real unified force on stage. It’s not just a band, you know? It’s something transcendental.” – Michael Shrieve (original drummer, Santana)

Jimbo Scott was born in Memphis TN and raised in Oakland CA. His songwriting style is derived from a childhood saturated in various traditions of american folk music and americana, including roots, bluegrass, spirituals, country, gospel, rock n roll and soul. Jimbo writes music that is autobiographical, introspective and intended to be shared with others.
