band biography

 Damma Damma is a musical collective of cinematic soundscapes rooted in psychedelic jazz-inspired rock music.  

Based in California with members hailing from Pennsylvania, Lousiana and Northern California,   their musical influences are as varied as the places they were raised.    Their influences educate their unique variety of rock music with a cinematic feel that is retro and modern at the same time.   Raised on the evolving landscape of rock, R&B, soul and punk rock, they manage to blend instruments of jazz such as vibraphone, flute, saxophone and piano together with the rock blueprint of drums, bass, guitar and keys that recall elements of late 60's and early 70's musical adventures that explored mixing genres freely.  

Born out of rhythm and percussion, drummer Adam Weaver enlisted the help of Robin Livingston on keyboards, production and engineering (el Radio Fantastique, Mykal Rose, Mickey Hart) and Jacob Landry on guitar (Caravan 222, Lee Gallagher) to bring the music of Damma Damma to life.  The core group was rounded out with Camilla Saufley on bass (Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound, Golden Void), Patrick Byers on flute and saxophone, (Monophonics, Phil Lesh & Friends, Ernest Ranglin), Darren Nelson on rhythm guitar (San Geronimo), Shen Hunt on congas and percussion (Zansa, Zach Deputy Band) and Jordan L. Blumling on 2nd percussion (Flash Hits, Gondola, Sapphire Slugs). This band delivers dynamic, energized live music.
