Formed in the Spring of 2006, Bodega brought Nick Bockrath (guitar), Peter Madonna (guitar), Steve Lyons (upright/electric bass), Max Swan (saxophone), and Jeremy Worthington (drums/percussion) together with a shared vision of creating a group with an emphasis on danceable grooves, developed compositions, and room for improvisation. Now in 2008 they are becoming quickly known as a young and strong force that bring a high energy performance beyond their years. With influences ranging from Herbie Hancock, Fela Kuti, Weather Report, Talking Heads, Stereolab, Kurt Rosenwinkel, MMW, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, livetronica and beyond, Bodega has always blended elements of funk, philly soul, jazz, breakbeat, and afrobeat to make their infectious grooves. Bodega consistently keeps the bodies moving whether they are in an intimate jazz club, or a large festival setting. Despite their young age, the members of Bodega each have very accomplished/extensive individual musical resume's and have had/continue their training and understanding in jazz, classical, popular and world music. Now signed with Ropeadope Records, Bodega is on to a new chapter in spreading their sound across the universe, into your ears, and on to your dance floor.
