The S Band is a group of musicians that have played together in many different contexts for many years. They incorporate spoken work into the mix as well as variety of musical genres. The S Band is Khabu Doug Young-guitar, Bill McCrossen-bass, Mark Miller-woodwinds, and Art Lande-piano and drums. Khabu and McCrossen have returned to Colorado after more than 20 years on the New York scene while Lande and Miller have been playing together in bands like Rubisa Patrol and the Boy-Girl Band for 40 years!

The S Band takes all of these rich associations and brings them to the present moment of music making.
