CRISP

CRISP's humble beginning's date back to August of 2013, when Elburn, IL native Kevin McMahon (bass player/band leader/composer and arranger) moved back to Illinois after a living in New Orleans for the previous five years.  Upon his return to the Chicagoland area, he had a goal in mind; to assemble a band of like minded, talented musicians to compose and preform original Funk/Jazz/Fusion music, in a time when DJ's and tribute bands rule the landscape of modern nightlife entertainment. Through various professional relationships and personal friendships, Kevin is honored to have secured the talents of Stewart Ream: Keyboards/Vocals, Mark Roller: Trumpet, Ian Letts: Saxophones, Joel Ream: Guitar/Vocals, and Matt Kellen: Drums, to our line up of sensational musicians. Over time, CRISP has come to embody Fusion driven composition with open improvisation.  Or as we prefer, PROGRESSIVE FUNK with WEIRD LYRICS...ENJOY
