Led by veteran drummer-composer A.C. Lewis (aka DrClock), the band fuses Afro, Asian, and Latin-American traditions with jazz and rock to create a singular, intensely rhythmic sound. Their lineup—drums, bass, guitar, percussion, alto sax, and trombone—channels a world of influence into original compositions that are earthy, ecstatic, and unmistakably alive.

Each tune tells a story that spans continents and centuries: a cumbia from Colombia, a Wassoulou groove from Mali, a polymetric dance from the Congo, a Hindu rhythm from South India—all transformed through the band’s collective energy. DrClock, a Juilliard-trained percussionist and composer with decades of experience performing with artists like Ray Charles, Yo-Yo Ma, Lenard Bernstein, and Ella Fitzgerald, is at the ensemble's heart. His compositions are the band’s backbone: rich with history, bold in form, and built to move.
