CoSW is an ensemble of musical griots whose song-craft emphasizes storytelling in modern parables. Their bandmembers' diverse backgrounds shape their eclectic music, conducting experiments in pop & soul through a rock-operatic lens. They sing songs of life, death, sex, murder, love, hate, and the Chaos that crawls between. Through its analog-digital hybrid sound vibrations, the band takes the listener on a cosmic trip through time and space using elements of noise, punk, jazz, rock, R&B, and musical theater. When it can, CoSW integrates video projection with their live performances; this curated imagery interacts with their songs’ stories and the visceral experiences of those moods. Over the years CoSW has enthusiastically collaborated with other performing and visual artists of their community (i.e. live painting, fire-spinning, dancing, etc.) to build unforgettable live experiences for audiences. They are inspired by the fire of co-conspired improvisation. A show with Church of Starry Wisdom is never just a band playing music; they always deliver a theatrical ceremony.
