Flow Theory
Hometown: Chicago, IL Web Site: Myspace.com/FlowTheoryChicago
Flow Theory is an experiment in music. It is a wholehearted attempt to bring forth a timeless feel. It is a sound that is simultaneously in the moment, as well as on the edge of what's to come. It is a communication of sound and soul. Flow Theory is a four-piece band; brothers Zev, Nash, and Eli handle Vocals, Guitar, and Drums, respectively. Avi (no relation) plays Bass Guitar. The inspiration for the band's sound and attitude comes from the festivals that changed their approach to music. There are no boundaries to the music Flow Theory plays. The band's strength comes from the interplay between the four members, the unity of their feeling for music and diversity of their influences. Genres including Rock, Reggae, Funk, Dubstep, and Dance are blended together as the line between Jam and Song are blurred. Improvisation interweaves with lovingly crafted songs to create a coherent, compelling sound that is always evolving.
