Cop a squat! Give it all you got! SQUATTR is an energetic and original funk rock band from Boise, ID whose eclectic sound is a natural outgrowth of their deep love for all kinds of music. The group was formed by songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Boise native Andrew Jackson Johnson after he cut his teeth for years playing guitar, keyboard, and bass in the nationally touring Scott Pemberton Band. His songs, influenced by the likes of Steely Dan, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Phish, form the core of the band’s music. But beyond that, the group’s dynamic concerts feature deep danceable grooves, lengthy live improvisation, and varying setlists in the jam band vein, but with a distinctive horn-driven sound that’s unique within that genre. With an ever-growing repertoire of original music and a heartfelt desire to move booties, SQUATTR always looks forward to helping you get down!
