Have You Seen This Band?

Van Davis is a high-energy trio from New York City with a sound that straddles the worlds of rock, funk, and jazz. Their infectious melodies and deep, distinctive grooves give a nod to progressive rock, jazz fusion, metal, classical, and bluegrass, producing a hybrid that is both complex and fun. The band is known for their adventurous improvisation within intricate, well-composed songs. Guitarist Jake Ezra explains, "We're always throwing curve balls at each other and having musical dialogues. I never view our songs as totally finished. I always encourage the band to take chances and try something new." The band's latest release Have You Seen This Band? captures the evolution of Van Davis' sound. The cover art portrays the faces of Jake, Jon, and Patrick on a milk carton as if they were "missing." In truth, the band is now finding what they've been looking for: a way to make "instrumental music with a lot to say" accessible to a global audience. With a steady stream of new fans falling in love with the band's sound, Van Davis is poised to become a permanent fixture in the instrumental groove-rock scene.
