Future Joy

The Music of Genesis, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel

The Western North Carolina string band from Asheville NC led by multi-instrumentalists and songwriters Nick Colavito and Kristina Miller. They weave a tapestry of sounds ranging from singer-songwriter originals to bluegrass, western swing, old country, and classic rock.

Commander Voodoo's sound is best described as "bayou yacht funk", an upbeat mix of original songs, unique arrangements, and mashups inspired by New Orleans R&B/funk, Southern soul, and jazz rock artists. Keyboardist/singer/songwriter D. R. Commander was born on the bayou near the Louisiana border and spent 25 years performing, touring, and recording with other people's R&B/funk, jazz fusion, jam, and Americana bands.
