From Prescott, Scandalous Hands, a four-piece funk, fusion and rock ‘n’ roll band, will perform at Sound Bites Grill in Sedona. Their music incorporates funk grooves, jazz harmonic structures and the exploratory improvisation of jam bands.
Scandalous Hands will be playing Saturday, July 7, from 7 to 10 p.m. in the show room at Sound Bites Grill. There is room for dancing and patrons can enjoy a dinner table for the evening.
The band started to come together in October 2016, when Troy Schilperoort on keyboard, Adam Haar on guitar and vocals, and Dennis Messenger on bass began working on a set of musical material.
Shawnee Snaketail soon joined the group on drums and vocals, completing the band’s roster. Since then, Scandalous Hands continues to grow, debuting new material with each performance and unleashing an explosive inventiveness in their covers of familiar classics. They perform all over Northern Arizona.
Scandalous Hands is influenced by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead and Herbie Hancock. There is a $10 cover to sit in the show room where the band performs.
On Friday, July 6, Steinway artist Louis Landon returns to the stage with Troy Perkins and Eddie Barattini. Landon, also a composer and Pianist for Peace, has dedicated his life to music. The jazz trio performs from 7 to 10 p.m.
Landon toured nationally and internationally, playing classical music for Mikhail Baryshnikov, jazz fusion with the John Payne Band, Latin music with Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers, pop music with Rupert “Pina Colada Song” Holmes, rock ‘n’ roll with John Hall and opening for Little Feat.
There is a $10 cover to sit and have dinner in the show room where the jazz trio will be performing. There is no cover for those who choose to sit on the patio or main dining room.
