New Monsoon
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 young rhythm section of Marshall Harrell (electric bass) and Sean Hutchinson (drums). New Monsoon's exhilarating blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation shines in an irresistible… Show more 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).

Their new album, aptly titled "New Monsoon Live," was recorded during an epic 3 night run in Texas last September. Building upon their most successful studio album to date, "New Monsoon V," this live two-CD set is the band's first official release from the current 5-piece line-up, and their first live album since 2004. New Monsoon Live captures the band reaching one of their highest emotional, technical, and musical peaks.
