About the Band
People in General is a 3 piece Jazz-Pop band from Fort Collins, Colorado. The lineup consists of Abraham Dashnaw on guitar, Ethan Christi on drums, and Matan Birnbaum on keyboard. The rising Northern-Colorado group fuses elements of Math-Rock, Bedroom Pop, and Jazz, to deliver fun and high energy live performances and they released their debut album "Piglet" in November 2019, produced by Mike Davis of Chess at Breakfast.
Ethan, Matan, and Abe first started playing music together as the rhythm section for The Grace Kuch Band. One day, while playing the 2019 International Blues Conference in Memphis, the lads decided to start a project of their own to experiment more with odd time signatures and complex chord phrasings. When they got back from the tour, they started reviving old songs from Abe's previous folk-punk project, but now with an upbeat and jazzy feel. Matan then recorded video for one of these songs, uploaded it to youtube, and BADABING! People in General was born.
