The Clockwise Witness

This four piece multi-instrumental outfit fuses Gypsy, Greek, Slavic, and Mariachi influences with American punk and folk roots. In 2006, they scored Little Miss Sunshine, garnering four Academy Award nominations, and earned a Grammy nod for Best Soundtrack. Their stage set up is fortified by sousaphone, accordion, piano, violin, bouzouki, upright bass, percussion, trumpet, drums and Theremin. They've toured with similar maverick acts such as Calexico and Flogging Molly. The live experience includes trumpeters appearing out of the crowd, the band climbing offstage and playing in the center of the audience, and trapeze aerialists suspended from theater ceilings.
