Ghostland Observatory

Ghostland Observatory is not a band, but an agreement between two friends to create something that not only heals their beat-driven hearts, but pleases their rock ‘n roll souls. Working from their south Austin studio, they have released two albums in less than a year, and have moved audiences from coast to coast with their live performances and unique style. With their spectral blend of electronics, drums, guitar and vocals, they have emerged with a sound that fuses elements of Prince, Daft Punk, Freddy Mercury, and Green Velvet, and is the culmination of past influence and present inspiration.

This is the 4th Annual Backbeat Jazzfest Series presented by The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living, WWOZ 90.7FM and Whole Foods Market. This is a smoke-free event.
