Frank LoCrasto’s other band Kolumbo has thrilled our crowd many a fine evening — and tonite he brings XOTICA HOUR featuring vast and intricate orchestrations reminiscent of the symphonic exotica and jazz-pop records birthed by Capitol Records in the 50's and 60's.

Since he was a landlocked Dallas, Texas kid, beach culture has held a tropical mystique for Kolumbo composer, arranger, keyboardist FRANK LOCRASTO. Family trips documented by camcorder videos, featuring slinky jazz-fusion soundtracks are etched in the Brooklyn-based artist’s memory. In his mind, there will always be a fantasyland replete with wicker furniture, pristine beaches, swaying palm trees, the smell of vanilla-scented suntan lotion, and breathtaking aqua water expanses.

These days, LoCrasto uses his imagination to create dreamy musical locales with the Brooklyn-based, tropically-minded ensembles. The tiki-jazz torchbearer has recorded and toured with Cass McCombs, Dawes, Grateful Shred, Pat Martino, Jeremy Pelt, James Iha, Parquet Courts, Fruit Bats, Nicholas Payton, Greg Osby, Okkervil River, and Wallace Roney.
