Bark Culture is a Philadelphia-based jazz trio led by superhuman vibraphonist Victor Vieira-Branco and featuring bassist John Moran and drummer Joey Sullivan. They came through Milwaukee a few months back to perform a short but impactful set of originals in the back room at the Sugar Maple. This tour would eventually lead them to concerts at Rhizome in Washington DC and a gig at the well-known Hopscotch Fest in Raleigh, NC.
Vieira-Branco has performed with Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Orchestra as well as the Chad Taylor Quintet, and very recently Bark Culture was featured on Mazurek's soundtrack to Kelly Reichardt’s new film The Mastermind.
This set was filled with high-energy jazz and was one of the more memorable concerts I attended over the summer.
