MINGO FISHTRAP AT SILVERTON CASINO VEIL PAVILION
IN LAS VEGAS, NV ON THURSDAY JULY 10TH
Touring in Support of New Album ON TIME
“The big-band, kitchen-sink style of soul is kept alive by Austin’s Mingo Fishtrap, whose fourth album On Time hones their mix of Memphis blues and New Orleans funk into a raucous musical party.” -Elmore Magazine.
“The band’s new album, On Time, is full of positive vibes and grooves. There is a lot of music to lift you to your feet, then get them moving.” -Pop Culture Beast
“With regard to their new album, On Time, it’s both good and interesting. It’s a big, old 12-song bellyful of Memphis soul crosshatched with New Orleans jazz and funk.”-About Jazz
It’s been quite the rollercoaster ride, but the eight members of Austin’s critically-acclaimed soul collective Mingo Fishtrap have found their sweet spot. Now four albums deep, the eight-piece outfit has honed its sound, rubbed shoulders with musical idols, and delivered powerhouse live shows to crowds of thousands in the years since the band’s inception in a tiny dorm room in Denton, Texas. “We’ve experienced a lot of milestones and challenges in our lives together,” says founder Roger Blevins, Jr. “It’s easy to reminisce, even about moments that have just happened, but you reach a place in your life where you finally feel comfortable that that’s where you’re supposed to be.”
Mingo’s fourth full-length record, the aptly-named On Time (out now on Blue Corn Music) blends punchy horns and gritty Memphis grooves with New Orleans funk to create sounds steeped in both modern pop and sixties soul sensibilities, that transcend both era and genre. “My first love is classic sixties soul, funk, and Motown,” says Roger. As the band has grown, this early love affair has become a bigger part of Mingo’s musical landscape. “There was a time early on when we were really into these crazy, bombastic arrangements,” he explains. “Now it’s more the song, the groove and the overall feel.”
