Gumbo Brothers:
Over the last twelve years,The Gumbo Brothers have firmly rooted themselves in the musical and cultural traditions of New Orleans.The band is based in Los Angeles, California with weekly performances at various local venues and events.On March 25,2014 band performed "Keep It Raw"on the opening scene of the CBS television show,NCIS.The episode,entitled"Crescent City"is the pilot for NCIS:New Orleans.The Gumbo Brothers have performed at the KJAZZ "Hollywood and Highland" concert series,KJAZZ Howard Hughes Center concert series, and the Santa Monica Pier "Twilight Dance Series" televised summer concert. In 2013, the band was chosen to represent the USA and New Orleans in Chiang Mai, Thailand at The Lanna World Music Festival. Since 2003, they have been entertaining the Venice community with an annual Mardi Gras parade on the boardwalk including a traditional brass band, funky drum corps, stilt walkers, dancers and costumed bead-throwing revelers. The band's debut cd, Funky Freedom, was released in 2007. According to CDBaby, "This collection of swampy funk is deep in the pocket, right where it should be. The grooves are thick, the vocals are sparse and always add texture to the interplay between the musicians, and the vibes never get bogged down...The Gumbo Brothers say they're 'going to hit you with some ass-shakin' funk!' They got that right. Prepare yourself." It was followed up in 2008 by The Gumbo Brothers On Fire, a collection of original Mardi Gras songs. In 2008, they were involved in the creation and release of The Gumbo Family Holiday Album - a collection of 14 holiday songs performed by 25 different musicians with all of the proceeds benefiting Students Run LA, which helps mentor at-risk youth to stay in school through goal setting and fitness programs. They are currently working hard on their next cd, Chicken Gumbo, a funky, instrumental mixture of original grooves. Dedicated to musicianship and exploring the traditions of funk, soul, jazz and r&b, The Gumbo Brothers have a wide appeal and an electrifying live show. Influences include: The Meters, Dr. John, War, Grant Green, Ivan "boogaloo" Joe Jones, James Brown, The Dirty Dozen, Galactic, and Walter "Wolfman" Washington. With several shows behind them including notable appearances at the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco, The House of Blues in LA, and venues up and down the west coast, this Venice-based quartet is bringing their infectious, booty movin' bayou grooves to swamp-funk fans throughout the world. The Gumbo Brothers are Johann Stein on guitar and vocals, Greg Sonnier on bass and vocals, Trevor Steer on organ, and John Montgomery on drums.The Gumbo Brothers currently perform as an 6 piece band with a horn section including Jamelle Williams (trumpet), and Matt DeMerritt (sax).

"Leche de Tigre dishes out tunes with a retro feel that will have you hankering for a second serving." - Fuse Tribal Magazine Review of Lactophilia Summer 2011 Issue
"A potent musical brew." HPR (Hawaii Public Radio) - The Conversation August 2011
"Their music is exciting, their vision unclouded, their name truly inspiring, a mere hint of the scope of their talent and originality. Latin Gypsy Funk is an easy label, but one feels confident that someday their music will simply be known as Leche de Tigre Music."
