Taxi Chain - Smarten Up!

A funky soulful, absolutely unique blend of Americana, R&B, blues and bagpipe, yes, bagpipe!
Band leader Grier Coppins founded Rare Air, the ground-breaking, the wildly successful jazz/celtic-fusion band over 20 years ago, and continues breaking down walls between musical genres with Taxi Chain. A fresh new brilliant sound, a blend of lowdown American roadhouse and bluesy R&B with a Tom Waitsian sense of lyrics and that damned bagpipe. Seamless, dirty, sweet, and extremely danceable.
NorthernBlues President Fred Litwin recalls,
»... I couldn’t help but to sign them after I heard them live at The Rivoli in Toronto. I had never seen such an interesting group of musicians... the band just rocked and the place danced for over two hours!«
