New music from Bazmati Vice
Bazmati Vice, Philly’s spicy blend of funk, rock, jazz and blues, worked on a new album for 18-plus months. It dropped last week on all streaming platforms and is definitely worth a listen. “Onward & Outward” features vocalist Ari Michaels on about half of the tracks. Check out the new music and see how far the band has come from its first iteration back in the day at Haverford College. Visit bazmativice.com for all of the details.
