The band has existed for nearly two years and their recently released debut CD, Mantis Recipe, received the following description: “Nova Paradiso distills their swank brew of every music worth knowing, twists it into exotic balloon animals with Zappa-esque flair, and hoodwinks the masses into believing it’s simply safe Latin-flavored dance music.” Their intricate compositions blend gypsy, African, Latin, funk, klezmer, soukous, jazz, zydeco and groove influences. Nova Paradiso consists of the following musicians: from l. to r.: Wayne Burdick, Dale Lee, Tara Duff, Benjamin Johnson, Lorena Ponce De Debora Wrathall (violin, vocals), Dale Lee (saxophones, keys, trumpet, Leon, Joseph Chisholm, Luminado, Debora Wrathall, Ralph Mason, Dave Chisholm accordion) , Wayne Burdick (percussion, marimba, xylophone) , Dave Chisholm (trumpet) Tara Duff (lead vocalist, lyricist), Ralph Mason musical genius that this band portrays.

You feel the room and the crunch of vintage instruments. You nearly see the players sweat as you listen to them pour their passions to tape. The songs are about matters of the heart, our modern experience with the quickening of time, and patience for those that miss it all. Reggie Watts, known within music circles as an agile improviser and powerful singer, commandingly fronts the band with a soulful baritone. Most often compared with Marvin Gaye and Al Green, Watts's style also reveals the influences of Chris Cornell and Robert Plant. Reggie's soulful baritone and wild creativity have earned him the title "soul technician". Maktub will be on tour in Oregon and California in August. Make sure you catch this soul machine band when they make it out to Utah. To find out more about the band, you can check ‘em out at www.maktub.com.

Maktub (pronounced mock-tube) is arabic for “Let it be written”. Hailing from Seattle, WA, Maktub was voted by “The Seattle Weekly” readers as best local band Favorite artists / bands: of 2002. *Khronos (produced by Steve Fisk) features 11 new soul-drenched and raw cuts. With Khronos, Maktub has created an album which spans Dave Matthews time - a perfect blend of classic Soul brought to bear with modern influences. The music itself combines new music technology - synthesizers, Jacob Dylan electric drums, sitar guitar and plenty of sampled sounds - mixed with the classic sounds of the Hammond B3 organ, Fender Rhodes piano, acoustic Default drums, guitar talkbox, and Reggie Watts's trademark 1950's modified telephone mic referred to as the Regg-a-phone. The front half of the John Mayer album explores soul, pop and the up-tempo tunes which fuel much of Maktub's scorching live shows. The second half settles into the darker Jimmy Buffet side of Maktub's unique brand of psychedelic soul rock.
