Biography
In order to fully understand The Werks, one must first witness them perform live. Self-described as a groove rock band, The Werks' original songs explore genres such as funk, electronica, soul, bluegrass, jazz, afro-cuban, celtic, R&B, and dance. Their unique style of performing is affected and manipulated by the energy of the audience, guaranteeing that each show will be different and memorable.
Their influences are as eclectic as their music, but some common influences include Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, Phish, Jimi Hendrix, Rush, The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Umphrey's McGee, and The Grateful Dead.
The Werks have shared the stage with many great acts such as Ekoostik Hookah, Sam Bush, Railroad Earth, Particle, Tea Leaf Green, The Emmitt-Nershi Band, Lotus, Badfish, U-Melt, Wish You Were Here, The Macpodz, Greensky Bluegrass, BoomBox, Outformation, The Station, Freekbass, One Under, The Maji, The Recipe, The Spikedrivers, Rumpke Mountain Boys, Papadosio, The Ragbirds, Jam Samich, Burning River Band, Mike Perkins, Covert Operations, Boogie Matrix Mechanism, The Goods, and many more.
As their tour radius increases, it is obvious that The Werks are becoming one of the Midwest's fastest growing bands. This success is largely accredited to the hard work of the band, their street team, and the dedication of their fans.
"The Werks have gradually transcended the genre stereotypes to become an
outstanding and very original rock band." - Mick Montegomery, C.S.T.
