Captain Gravitone & The String Theory Orchestra Performs at the Grand Kabaret!
Captain Gravitone & the String Theory Orchestra plays Americana Folk Rock, infused with Tango and Jazz. Motifs found in the groups compositions include the group's superhero, Captain Gravitone, tangos in big box stores, leather clad women, beat poets, the circus, philosophy majors and parallel universes. The sound is fun, thought provoking, sometimes moody, with a sense of humor reminiscent of Tom Waits, Frank Zappa and Bela Fleck. The Gravitone sound is plump with instrumental jams and moving vocals, navigating between Irish drinking songs, Jazz ballads, and catchy Rock tunes. The Mankato-based group features Eli Hoehn on banjo and vocals, Wayne Schmidt and Jason Helder on guitars and vocals, Damen Price on drums, and vocalist Kelly Kroeker. The group is the resident house-band for the Cabaret Le Ruse theatre group and has performed with some of Minnesota's finest musicians including Papa John Kolstad, Tom Lieberman, Steve Kaul, Bill Grenke, Scott Fultz, Ron Arsenault, Dave Pengra, Wendy Soleil, and Karen Kozak, among many others. The group is currently working on a full length cd to be released sometime in 2015.
