Bassist Percy Jones is the most revered fretless player alive, and has inspired thousands of bassists with his unique style. Percy has forged his own path in his approach to the instrument, bewitching the listener with what he brings to the music of Tunnels.

Marc Wagnon on midi-vibes is a trailblazer on the electronic mallet instrument. A dazzling palette of sounds and virtuositic technique is his offering to the harmonic structure of Tunnels' music.

Drummer Walker Adams heralded as “a young and very impressive drummer” by Louisville Music News, Walker has been exploring the subtleties and complexities inherent in the art of modern drumming since the age of twelve.

Tunnels overtakes the listener, to a point where musical categories are rendered meaningless. While solidly grounded in the best tradition of jazz/rock fusion, the music the band produces brings you backwards and forwards at the same time, conveying in unbridled enthusiasm, a rarity in contemporary music.

Reviews:

"With progressive jazz/rock coming back into fashion, Tunnels might well be poised to be in the right place at the right time. Tunnels continues to push the boundaries with their chops and sound as the earth mover that powers it all. A tasty workout where everyone sweats and no one slacks, jazz/rock fans can turn out for this with their heads held high. A high octane outing where everything fits right in." Chris Spector Midwest Record Recap

"Tunnels digs in with locked, organic grooves that underpin galactic explorations rich in melodic content.” Chris Jisi-Bass Player

"Tunnels' often delirious songs range from Zappa-esque meter frivolity, to electro-jazz, to atmospheric free funk. These are ferocious performers." Modern Drummer

"This maddeningly creative, wild, and sometimes experimental trio makes no bones about its desire to carry on in the hardcore jazz fusion tradition." All Music Guide

"Tunnels has their own musical vision, suggesting no comparisons, I offer two groups that demonstrate the artistry and force that drives this trio's music -- the days of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizold Man, and also, the heyday of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra." 2006 Mark's Online Music Source

"I liken this music to Tribal Tech without the guitars, or even the more explosive music Weather Report explored...for fans of this music, being able to hear these dedicated musicians do what they do best is something to be ever thankful" for. MJBrady prognosis.com
