Misnomer
Misnomer is an instrumental group from Atlanta and Athens, Georgia. Started as a collective of music students, the band’s members channel their influences from classical, jazz, hip-hop and R&B into something different. Fronted by horns and backed by a rhythm section of keyboards, bass, and drums, Misnomer draws influence from artists like OutKast, Kiefer, Snarky Puppy, and Moonchild. According to Flagpole Magazine, “[Misnomer’s] music is as exciting as it is uncategorizable. The horn-centric outfit blends jazz fusion, deep funk, instrumental hip hop, and modern classical to create an intoxicating sound that’s unlike anything else in town.”
The band’s most recent record Backburner was released on streaming services in late 2022, and other records include Strength in Numbers (2019), Neighborhood (2018), and Mister Tie Dye (2017).
