Kashmere Stage Band - Zero Point
i WISH i played in a band like this when i was in high school. the funkiest thing my band teacher let us play was the star wars symphony. believe it or not kashmere stage band is a high school band from houstan texas whose music teacher, Conrad Johnson, decided to have his students play in the style of Otis Redding and other funky bands form the late 60s into the 70s. unfortunately, i can’t find any videos of the group, because they also put on a full show with choreographed dance moves.
two of my major loves in life are music and education and this is simply one of the greatest stories i’ve ever heard. the teacher connected directly with the students and helped them to achieve things beyond their imagination. the kashmere stage band went on to record 8 studio albums and have been a prized possession among crate diggers worldwide. now-again records a subsidiary of stones throw released a compilation album of their songs a couple years back called texas thunder soul. check it out and enjoy!
