SG's music is an eclectic blend of funk, southern rock, bluegrass, reggae, jazz, rhythm & blues, and follows the great tradition of jam bands in twisting and bending musical genres.  They have developed a substantial following in the Louisville area by continually providing an amazing live music experience to their fans. SG's live recordings are widely circulated among tapers and live music lovers and provide an intimate glimpse at what Sativa Gumbo does best--a live performance that will have you asking for seconds.  A raucous blend of Bill Payne and Dr. John inspired piano/organ-playing mixes well with guitar licks reminiscent of Duane Allman and Carlos Santana. The guitar and keys float on the rhythm section, which is led by the genetic anomaly of Vic Wooten and Mike Gordon's bass child and founded on rhythms inspired by Billy Cobham and Carter Beauford. The four diverse songwriters and three singers in this band allow SG to transcend traditional music genres, leaving the listener failing to find an adequate way to describe their music.
