Mingo Fishtrap is a soul and funk band based in Austin, Texas. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] They were formed in the mid-1990s in Denton, Texas. The band consists of Roger Blevins, Jr. ( guitar/ lead vocals), Chip Vayenas ( drums/ vocals), Dane Farnsworth ( organ/ keyboards), Roger Blevins Sr. ( bass), Steve Butts ( trumpet/ flugelhorn), and Dan Bechdolt ( tenor saxophone). They have, with a few personnel changes over the years, released six albums and one concert video.
Before a performance in Raleigh, North Carolina, in July 2016, Indy Week's Timothy Bracy wrote, "Long-running Austin soul and funk outfit Mingo Fishtrap features an agreeably accomplished horn-driven sound evocative of everything from Curtis Mayfield to early Chicago. Infectious tunes and plentiful chops figure to make for a crowd-pleasing evening." [8]
