With over 2 decades of performing collectively and individually in the Pacific Northwest, How Now Brown Cow blends jazz and funk with elements of world, island, fusion and soul to create a sound that is all their own. "How Now Brown Cow sound like Coltrane playing the theme song to CHiPs, mixing high art with '70s camp. Throw in tasty samples and some cowbell, and, boy, you're cooking up a party. Bowmp chicka bowmp bow." - The Weekly Volcano. Often compared to and influenced by Herbie Hancok, Weather Report, Average White Band, Tower of Power, P-Funk and Weather Report.
