One of the most original and energetic acts around today, ekoostik hookah is the nucleus of a family drawn to its lucid, improvisational treatment of psychedelic rock ’n’ roll, blues, funk, jazz and bluegrass layered with rich harmonies. Born early in 1991 in a smoky basement bar, the band has been continually evolving, cultivating a sound that has perked the ears of contemporaries and attracted fans who travel miles to hear them play.

The Ohio-based band began jamming during weekly open-mic nights when vocalist/keyboardist Dave Katz, lead guitarist Steve Sweney, bassist Cliff Starbuck and guitarist/vocalist John Mullins had full-time gigs with popular bands. The ensemble quickly found a following and began this odyssey when a stranger who heard them at a party bankrolled a trip to the studio to record Under Full Sail. By the end of recording, band members had committed themselves full-time to ekoostik hookah. Drummer Eric Lanese joined in 1993. Since its birth ekoostik hookah has independently handled every aspect of its growth.

Though intense live energy fuels this band, hookah fans have snatched up more than 100,000 copies of its eight releases: ‘Under Full Sail’, ‘Dubbahbuddah’, an untitled, two-disc live set, ‘Where the Fields Grow Green’, ‘Hookahville Spring ’98′, ‘Sharp in the Flats’, ‘Seahorse’, and ‘Ohio Grown’.
