Curveball
Formed in upstate New York its members are all deeply immersed in music and use this experience to bring a wide and colorful pallet of flavor to their sound. Ranging from everything involving Classical to Hip Hop, Funk to Metal, the end result is both psychedelic and immersive.
William Reinke
Playing drum set since he was 10 years old William has years of experience behind the kit. Though never receiving a formal education he was tutored privately for many years with Bruce Ezmark a touring drummer for the Commordores. His inspirations early on range from the likes of John Bonham, Mitch Mitchell and Frank Beard and resulted in his solid foundation of classic rock and blues. In more recent years he has branched out into experimental territory set by the likes of Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt and the groundbreaking phrasing used by modern Jazz drummer Mark Guiliana. This as well developed interest into Fela Kuti whos monumental drummer Tony Allen spawned the genre Afrobeat as we know it has led to William's unique and fluid voice behind the kit. Which he uses to bring a personal swing and definition to every piece he plays on.
James Hart
James has been a guitarist for over 20 years, playing rock, funk, blues, and jam music. He currently teaches and performs out of Albany NY, with his band Curveball. He attended the Hartt School of Music between 2006 and 2011, receiving a full scholarship through the 20/20 chamber music program, graduating with a Bachelor of Music in classical guitar performance as well as completing work toward a masters degree. He has performed works from the classical to modern eras in concert in New York and Connecticut, as well as in masterclasses with many world renowned guitarists, including Manuel Barrueco, Oscar Ghiglia, Ana Vidovic, Jason Vioux, Antigoni Goni, and Scott Tennant, as well as many others.
Liam Murtagh
Born with a passion for music Liam was brought up listening to bands such as Bad Brains and Black Sabbath due to his father. These influences later expanded into Liam's discovery and love of Hip Hop and Rap with heavy influence coming from MF DOOM. Initially only a rapper and producer Liam's need to create original parts he could not sample led him to pick up the bass guitar as well as learn some basic keys. His knowledge of music theory and amazing sense of rhythm has given him a talent beyond his years when playing. With an ear for the improvisational and deep seated love of heavy grooves and tight back beats Liam brings an integral part to the Curveball trio.
