about
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp has been a devoted fan of The Blues since his teen years. His blues band Terraplane synthesizes the intersection of country and urban blues with Mississippi fife & drum bands, post-Mingus/Ayler jazz, the sonic innovations of Sharp's long-running ensemble CARBON and the rhythmic force of the groove, from classic shuffles to contemporary dance music. The current ensemble is includes vocalists Eric Mingus and Tracie Morris; Alex Harding and Terry Greene on horns; bassist Dave Hofstra; drummer Don McKenzie; and producer Joe Mardin guesting on keyboards, percussion, and vocals, with Sharp on guitars and lap steel.
