The Mingo Story:-
The highly seasoned and finely tuned professionals heard today had a somewhat inauspicious inception.
The core of the band began in the early 90''s when a group of students in the prestigious Jazz program at the University of North Texas formed as a "jam band," to compete in a contest hosted by the dorm in which they were living. Needing something to call themselves, they deftly remembered the name of an intersection in Denton, Texas where front man Roger Blevins Jr. unfortunately had some car difficulties (broke down). The name seemed memorable to said members after suffering through many of his now legendary rants on the topic. It is amazing what drinks and desperation will produce.
The audience response to initial live shows served as the catalyst for a more concerted musical effort. What began as a one shot deal turned into something much more. In a remarkably short amount of time, hard work and word of mouth resulted in capacity shows regionally. People just could not get enough of good thing. Not only did the people dance and sing through sweaty set after set, they smiled. They were getting the first tastes what this band served up night after night: soul food in every connotation of the word. These inaugural offerings can be heard Mingo''s first CD, Succotash.
More than a decade later Mingo Fishtrap has further solidified into a musical powerhouse, combining well crafted, catchy songs and a high energy, impressive live show. With the release of their second CD "From The Private Bag", Mingo continues their musical journey with style and confidence. Rumors have it they are working on a DVD as their next release to capture that "live show" feel in the confines of your own home. More importantly, the people seem to still be dancing, singing and smiling with every musical soul food serving. Keep your browser tuned to cdbaby.
The Mingo Sound:-
Mingo takes melodic pop songs reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, Dr. John and Little Feat to name a few, and serves them up in tight horn-fueled arrangements with a healthy pinch of raw, N''awlins style funky stuff.
