Sonic Epidemic is a local band who is in love with the great horn bands of the 1970's. We are hugely influenced by and play in the style of Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Tower of Power, and all the other greats from that era!

Our family-friendly program has the audience singing and dancing back to the era of tie-dyed shirts and bell bottom pants!

The five horns and the driving rhythm section transport our fans on a journey to one of the most enjoyable, unique, and memorable times of rock and roll!
