Bop Skizzum

Music has the power to get people dancing & Bop Skizzum likes to take full advantage of that fact. Gathering inspiration from every corner of the record store, the band meshes their alternative pop rock vibe with groove based funk, rock & dance music creating an invigorating blend of unique instrumentation with phenomenal vocals to complete their sound. Guitar & Back-up Vocals are handled mightily, by band co-founder Andy “Rok” Guerrero; formerly of the socio-political hip-hop rock band The Flobots. Fellow co-founder and the band’s Music Director Serafin Sanchez provides one of the ‘3rd voices’ (in the form of brass) in Bop Skizzum with the Saxophone; a CU Boulder graduate with a Master’s Degree in Jazz Music. This inspiring song writing duo is grounded by the incredible rhythm section of groove master Chris Harris on Bass and multiple award winning beat savant Tohbias Juniel on Drums. Rounding out the brass section are the two-man Trumpet power-punch of Joe Ferrone and John Lake. Bop Skizzum is pure entertainment. The band has been compared to No Doubt, The Heavy, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and N.E.R.D. But comparing them to others might narrow one’s view of the band causing you to miss the other 99 things that make this band so uniquely suited to help you get your groove on… Bop Skizzum was formed out of a desire to develop new musical styles and instill soul-inspiring messages through spell-binding vocals and original music; this is accomplished with an unparalleled group of musicians.
