( k32 )

K32s music embodies the classic southern California vibe: a simple acoustic guitar beach groove, a healthy serving of jazz guitar, the bottom end of a hundred year old stand-up bass and punctuated with fat backbeats. The music takes license with many different genres: a little bit rhythm and blues, a bit of soul with the funk, jazz and a sprinkling of country. The result of this collage is an honest to God, swear to you, down right - good music. Just as the music starts to get you groovin, just when your about to turn the smile on the inside to a smile on the outside, a voice is introduced with all the warmth of a familiar pair of fuzzy slippers bringing to life a clear vivid story, put together by a soul who has a knack for knowing, someone who's been there, done that, someone who makes you feel and think about life. This is the musical stew of K32. And, we are:

Mike Britt- Singer, Acoustic Guitar and songwriter. Mike hails from Roseburg, Oregon, spending his last twelve years in Ocean Beach. His vocals are smooth and intoxicating and the lyrics of his songs are very truthful and sometimes biting. He is a wordsmith who handpicks each letter to build the words that set the stage for a three and a half minute matine. You can feel the emotion and care Mike puts into his songwriting. Prior to joining his previous band, 20 Miles South, Mike played the coffee house circuit in San Diego, Kuwait and Iraq during Desert Storm as a solo artist and part-time soldier.

Jon Garner- Lead Guitar and back-up vocals. Jon comes to K32 and San Diego by way of New England. Jon's lead guitar work embellishes Mikes vocals with both melodic and tasty jazz-influenced licks. Prior to joining K32, John has been a leader and/or sideman in a variety of traditional and contemporary ensembles ranging from jazz and classical to punk rock. Local live performance and studio experience with the groups Blume, Aqua Dulce, D.frost, Blue Seven, Rezolution, Yavaz, Citymouse, and the Skeleton Key Orchestra among other jazz and top 40 professional ensembles. John is the learned musician in the group. He holds both a Bachelor of Music Degree in Jazz Studies from the University of Massachusetts and a Master of Music Degree, Jazz Specialization from San Diego State University.

Rich Wright- Upright Bass. Rich is a native San Diegan. In fact, he lives in the same house in which he grew up. This reflects his bass playing, never venturing far from the root. He and his best friend, his bass Cedro, add some climate control with a bigger than life (and yes, size does matter) bottom end purr to the sound of K32. Rich played in local San Diego bands: Boy Roy and the All-White Soul Band, Green Flash and Greenroom Boys and the Imposters.

Issac Crow- Drums. Little is known about Issac other than his strong sense of timing and his ability to influence every song positively. There are no pictures of him available, however, you can see him behind the drums to our shows. Issac is also a classically trained musician and is currently working on a music degree. Many of his previous credits are with jazz ensembles and as the house drummer at most jazzmic nights.
