How to describe The Big Mess? Father + Son Trumpet + Voice Incomparable Music that’s perfect for listening or dancing. Exhilarating Entertainment that’s great to watch. Funk – Latin – Pop – Jazz – Swing – World – Broadway – Classical Dance band! No kidding!!!
=0D=0A=A highly charged melting pot of music where well-known classics cozy up to unexpected rarities, with inimitable spontaneity, bringing delight & inspiration to audiences ages – 3 to 103. The Big Mess coaxes audiences down the rabbit hole into a tantalizing world at once nostalgic & exotic, sultry & sweet, nutty & playful, and just a glimpse of the deranged.” For over 30 years, Marty & Kyle Shepard have been father & son. For the last five of those thirty years, they have created one Great Big Happy Musical Mess.
=0D=0A=The Big Mess has performed at festivals and events in Mexico, California, Washington and all over British Columbia. VoxMan Kyle, the ever-experimenting mad scientist of lyric & groove, is like a multi-dimensional Bobby McFerrin who escaped the zoo on a full moon with plans to storm Broadway while maintaining a nasty binge of the Blues. VoxMan’s vocal nature is a shapeshifter: snappy, sexy, liquid and lewd.
=0D=0A=As yin to VoxMan’s wild yang is Marty Shepard, aka Dad, a bluesy mage & jazzy sage. He plays his horn like a thousand years of oral storytelling blooming into a passionate kiss at the heart of a blazing dance party.
