A few weeks ago I had access to shoot the Slightly Stoopid band at the Vinoy Park in Downtown St. Petersburg. It was an outdoor concert on the water and there couldn't have been a better place to catch such a cool and amazing sounding band. I was so excited to see them live (as I've been a fan for many years). They have such a unique sound and so much energy it's truly a fun show to catch. Their energy is contagious. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet with Rymo their drummer that day to do an interview, but he was generous to give me one post concert a couple of days after the show. If you're not familiar with the band Slightly Stoopid, they're sound is a mix of Reggae and Ska with a horn section and all. Here's a link to some of their CD's: Slightly Stoopid CD's & Vinyl Rymo also has an album that he's independently recorded called Structure & Flow which has amazing drum rythms and grooves that will want to make you get your sticks out and play.

Adam Renn Olenn | December 10, 2013 Until you’ve seen a Chapman Stick performed live, the music it produces sounds too big to be real. A twelve-string electric instrument, it’s sort of like a guitar and a bass fused together, but played with a pianistic tapping of the fingers to activate the strings, instead of plucking or strumming them. And one of the best Chapman Stick players in the world is Tom Griesgraber. Griesgraber first learned of Berklee while taking music lessons as a high school student. After attending a Berklee in LA session, he set his heart on Berklee, but knew he had his work cut out for him to succeed there. Griesgraber began taking courses at MiraCosta college, and soon distinguished himself, tutoring other students, recording, and helping with administrative duties. He then transferred to Berklee, and two years later graduated summa cum laude. Griesgraber has performed with or opened for the California Guitar Trio, the Tony Levin Band, the Dixie Dregs, Adrian Belew, Tower of Power, the Bad Plus, and many, many more, as well as playing the Grammy Awards after-party. He’s currently writing, performing, and co-producing the sophomore album by Rymo of Slightly Stoopid, and plans to tour the U.S. and Europe this spring with his duo, Unnamed Lands, with Bert Lams of the California Guitar Trio.
