Frog Squad performs a special show featuring their interpretation of works by composer Erik Satie on November 4th at Crosstown Arts.
Doors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm
Frog Squad is an outlet for creative expression and sound exploration based in Memphis, TN. Their songs pull heavily on improvisation within loose structures, creating a psychedelic, avant-garde, jazz sound.
The group curates and arranges songs from artists such as Theloinous Monk, Erik Satie, and Horace Silver, and bandleader David Collins composes eclectic, original music. Frog Squad gently defies the standards of what defines “good music” by composing song templates with experimental elements. In fall of 2019, Frog Squad released “Solar System in Peabody,” a full-length work funded by UrbanArt Commission. The Memphis Flyer has called it “one of the most incredible pieces of music that came across our threshold this year.”
