With a clandestine network entrenched inside the local music scene, The Deep State is a group of local musicians who draw from a variety of musical styles. They are known to have connections to local music venues, bars, and while they do private events they are no wedding band and play high-energy shows that center around groove, funk, jazz, and rock. Made up of a variety of music scene veterans, the Deep State delivers all original music with occasional forays into improvisation. Band members are bassist/vocalist, Dan Freeman; drummer/vocalist, Josh Adamo; guitarist/vocalist, Josh Baldwin; Bryan Carr on brass; and guitarist/vocalist, Nathan Seldomridge. The band tells us that some of their best moments happen in the studio during a practice, “It’s about getting to that moment all together—like we all just crested the ridge and see the vista at the same time. Sometimes it’s soft and beautiful and sometimes it’s loud and chaotic.”
