The Botanists are critically acclaimed musicians that form one super spontaneous 6 - piece sensation. Brainchild and saxophonist, Frank Vitolo, brings a melting pot of styles of modern pop music, 90's grunge, hip-hop and funk, bypassing the borders of genres and pushing the boundaries of harmony. After the release of their sophomore album, Indignation, they received praise from all corners of the Seattle community, including two nominations from Earshot Jazz Magazine for NW Recording of the Year and Alternative Jazz Group of the Year.     Seattle Times stated “Indignation is #1 on Best Seattle albums of 2020: the critics’ ballots”.   Though their song titles speak to the present political moment, the Botanists drum up their respective strengths with a technique that’s far from new, building their narrative from the collective. – Earshot Jazz Magazine    "Providing the lead musical voice, band leader Frank Vitolo's saxophone combines with Colin Pulkrabek's trombone in continuing a horn sound passed down from the Jazz Crusaders to Kamasi Washington. Bad News Botanists really find their strenth in strong compositions, sharp ensemble arrangements, and strong solo contributions from a dexterous lineup." - Abe Beeson 88.5 KNKX    Bad News Botanists are not to be missed. 

Good Quiver is an original music project based out of Seattle.  The music of Good Quiver is harmonically complex and groovecentric, with poignant lyrics that hang on equally compassionate melodies.  Their live show is high energy and a whole lot of fun to be at
