Biography

In the spring of 2006 several improvised jam sessions would cultivate what has become one of Nashville's most innovative and eclectic musical acts. Uberphonics is a collective improvisational unit, where the key element to the music being played is the interaction among each player. With Matt Jaggers on guitar, Carl Roberts III on drums, and Jeff Collet on bass Uberphonics borrows elements from Jam, Jazz, Funk, and Rock, dubbing their sound "Psychedelic Junk Jazz". Priding themselves on the live performance, the trio believes in the idea that every performance be unique and the audience can feed off the energy created by "playing in the moment".

The release of their debut album garnered Uberphonics local and regional attention being Nashville SceneÕs Critics Pick, as well as being featured as a "Band On The Rise" in Relix magazine. The 10-track set is a concept album, but not by traditional standards. Instead the trio strives to absorb the listener into an exploration of complete musical thought.

After playing hundreds of shows and festivals including Memphis in May, Murfreesboro Jazzfest, and Festively Local, Uberphonics returned to the studio. This time around they brought in Grammy award nominee Johnny Neel, recognized in the music world for his work with the Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, and now with his band The Criminal Element, to produce the set. With most of Uber's influences stemming from a time before the digital age the band recorded straight to tape and will be releasing it on vinyl early 2011.

Uberphonics has adapted a campaign to bring their music to the masses. They aggressively seek to saturate Nashville and beyond (beyond) with their soulful conversational blend of Psychedelic Junk Jazz. So grab yourself a towel, 'cause its gonna be a filthy trip.
