District 97
District 97 was formed in the fall of 2006, drawing upon influences from heavy metal to avant-garde jazz. After working instrumentally for a time, the group decided to add a vocalist, and recruited Leslie Hunt. With their hard-hitting melodic sound, they’ve been thrilling audiences at festivals in both North America and Europe. The band also collaborated with John Wetton, first in the studio and then recording a live album with him in 2013 which contained classic King Crimson tracks.
