Dynamic Stew: NOUN, definition: A variety of intense, original music, ranging from dirty funk to psychedelic jams, mixed together and thrown into one large pot. Served extra hot and saucy for everlasting flava.
In April 2003, Ray Holman (drums/vocals) and Ryan Duffy's (guitar/vocals) creation, Dynamic Stew, took flight. By combining the talents of Matt Fox (bass), Mike Schieferstein (tenor/soprano sax), Jamey Zebrack (keyboards), and Geno Licata (percussion), Dynamic Stew has been hammering the music scene with a forceful grit ever since.
Dynamic Stew, an original funk and improvisational band, hails from Farmingdale, New York. They perform their music with vigorous ambition, surging their high-energy funk into the audience from start to finish. This innovative sound is a result of the band's unique song writing and the many influences they incorporate into their music. Each member adds his own creative styles of funk, fusion, jazz, and skillful arrangements to produce the tightly woven groove that is heard on stage.
In such a short existence, Dynamic Stew has already surpassed many of their original aspirations. The band has shared the same bill with many great acts including members of the Parliament Funkadelic, The Meters, Grateful Dead, Vida Blue, Deep Banana Blackout, Max Creek and Colonel Bruce. The band also experienced a breakthrough summer in 2005 by appearing at numerous music festivals throughout the North East.
Dynamic Stew values the relationship they have built with their audience and this can best be seen onstage. The band's number one priority is to continuously introduce fresh, new material while creating variations of their existing songs. Each performance is packed with enough intensified funk to keep fans, old and new, coming back for more.
