Audiences often leave a transit performance in amazement and disbelief. "How can they possibly be doing all that without any instruments?" Using nothing more than their mouths and microphones, transit brings to the stage the thumping rhythm of a drum set, the rumbling vibrations of an electric bass, funky guitar riffs, soulful horns, and the sounds of many other common instruments.
Since the group's founding in 2005, transit has performed to excited audiences throughout the United States. With decades of collective experience as performers and clinicians, transit has also given numerous classes and workshops, including grade school educational programs and university seminars and master classes.
