COMMOTION performs original music ranging from funk, dance, afrobeat, while incorporating impressive improvisation. Led by Ben Darwish, the group features some of the most in demand musicians in the northwest. You may have heard them battle Ohmega Watts or playing late nights at the Goodfoot. This show will feature the "Young Guns" horn section which features John Nastos and 15 year-old trumpet phenom, Tree Palmedo! Also, we've added a auxillary percussionist too!
