Formed in New Orleans in 2003, The Captain Midnight Band stays true to the Crescent City's celebratory heritage. Their shows are usually sweaty, throbbing events, interspersed with humor, eroticism, and epic jams.

Flattering comparisons to genre-defying acts such as P-Funk, Frank Zappa, and Ween are evident in the band's approach to expressing their true evolving nature, but its the relationship between band and crowd that truly fuel the freakout. The tone of each show is mostly dictated by that night's particular audience, upping the ante for nightly weirdness!

The core line-up of Captain Midnight (Guitar, Vocals) Andy Leab (Bass, Vocals) Mike Little (Drums, Vocals), Lil Rae Rae (Keys, Vocals) is often augmented with guests ranging from vocalists & percussionists to full horn sections, depending on where and when the band happens to be playing.

Midnight's style has infiltrated a variety of musical realms. Bob Weir, Merl Saunders, Dumpstaphunk, Galactic, Cornmeal, Melvin Seals & JGB, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Cypress Hill, George McConnell,  Karl Denson, New Mastersounds, and The 2 Live Crew are just a few musical entities Midnight has either shared the stage or bills with.
