We are super excited to have Ben Bloom and Grant Schroff of Polyrhythmics as our guests on No Simple Road this week! Founded in late 2010, Polyrhythmics was formed by Ben Bloom and Grant Schroff, who quickly gathered some of the most talented and highly sought-after performers in the North West to record an EP. The rest is musical history! Blending funk, rock, jazz, afro-beat, and more, Polyrhythmics crate a sonic tapestry that will for sure get your feet and booty moving!We sit down with Ben and Grant to talk about the origins of Polyrhythmics, the challenges of being Pacific Northwest musicians, how fans in this region of the country differ from fans in other parts of the country, what their writing and creative process involves, what is most important to them when making music together, and much more!Come join Polyrhythmics (and the No Simple Road Crew) on New Year's Eve at The Aladdin Theater for their 'Bridgetown Boogie' NYE celebration!
