| Formed in 2003, Bridgeport Folly has created a splash in the developing South Florida music scene. A band on a mission, Bridgeport Folly is the musical crossroads of five musicians with a singular creative goal. Their sound is an explosion of FOLK, JAZZ, FUNK and PROG ROCK. Bridgeport Folly's original compositions sparkle with tonality, loving attention to detail, and form; improvisations bring them beyond their usual catalog and allow them to explore the deep-seeded connection between each member. At once thundering and epic, blissfully dramatic rises give way to soft, joyful melodies that are sure to fill the dance floor. Fueled by the often whimsical and always poignant words and vibrant imagery of eloquent and original lyricist, John Knowles Williams, Bridgeport Folly is a gathering of hearts and minds: a true musical celebration. One can be certain that on any given night, the band will travel from East to West and back again in theme, stopping only for a fifteen-minute set-break. Individually, they are a varied group, but their differences melt away and their strengths are magnified as they take the stage to perform on any given night. |
