It’s all CFI – and it’s all Groovy.
As a quartet, CFI is: George Petit on guitars and vocals, John Rivers on electric bass, Geza Carr on drumset and Mike Hartigan on keyboards…upon occasion, when the party permits, we expand to an nonet, adding up to a full five-piece horn section that includes Jake Whitesell (tenor), Rob DeBruyn (tenor), Avery Cooper (alto/bari), Conor Young (tpt/flug) and Nate Reit (t’bone).
