Layering jazz, classical, and psychedelia on top of late-60’s swinging rock, Falkons composes the melodic voices of its 8-member ensemble into a sound that dances with catchy instrumental interplay and stands on a foundation of songwriting that is both timeless and unique. A 3-piece horn section (Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, Trombone) doles out heaps of charm, energy, and depth alongside vocal harmonies and a rhythm section that loves to get busy, but keeps a strong groove.

Falkons’ creative leadership comes from Alex Wargo, a veteran of the Boise music scene who might talk about My Chemical Romance and the delightful countermelodies of a Haydn piece in the same breath. His original vision in 2022 was to combine lofi hip-hop rhythms and aesthetics with psychedelic guitar textures and orchestral instruments, wrapped up in a package of symphonic arrangement. Over the course of a year and the addition of horns, the members of Falkons couldn’t help but let their rock’n’roll out and that vision morphed into the driving, dynamic experience that it is today. The name Falkons stems from a common lyrical thread of encountering struggle and rising up above it through mindfulness and addressing specific emotions.
