Since 2009, Eminence Ensemble has provided people from all walks of life with a sense of community, a safe space for expression, a needed break from the pressures of life, and a thrilling rush of adrenaline through complex, yet digestible music that bridges the gap between the jam-band and more traditional music scenes.
The Colorado-based sextet, comprised of members Tanner Bardin [drums], Nick Baum [vocals, percussion], Wil Snyder [keyboard, synth], Zac Flynn [bass, synth, vocals], Dylan Gleit [guitar, vocals] & Justin Neely [guitar, vocals], has been steadily building their fan-base through explosive live shows featuring a unique conglomerate of genre-blending compositions. The archipelago of sonic worlds put forth by the band features elements of rock, funk, metal, electronic, soul, and hip-hop that together create an intricate foundation to be decorated by exploratory improvisational jams in a unique way, every show.
Gaining their following first as a live band, Eminence Ensemble learned to capture the crowd with high-energy performances and large-scale production, with a light show just as dynamic as the music. Although they mainly thrive in the jam scene, the band is recognized and loved by fans of all genres. Eminence Ensemble has become known for their complex song structures, harmonized dual-guitar lines, heavy bass drops, dense vocal harmonies, and powerful percussion, both on stage and in the studio.
The sextet focuses most on creating a one-of-a-kind show for their fans each night. Every set list is carefully constructed to capture the vibe of the night, resulting in a continuous energy exchange between the band and audience that strengthens with every cycle. With over 400 shows under their belt, Eminence Ensemble has proven their worth in the scene, playing festival slots at Summer Camp, Electric Forest, Camp Bisco, Wave Spell, Euphoria, Gem & Jam, The Werkout, Same Same But Different, and many others.
