Popular Baltimore based jazz noise rock fusion band, Whoarfrost has released their new indie documentary Community Watch: HOARNFROST. This film, which was filmed and directed by talented local filmmaker Eric Smith follows Whoarfrost’s transition from performing solely as tight knit trio, to evolving into a version of themselves backed with a full horn section. The complete metamorphosis of this process was appropriately renamed, HOARNFROST.
The documentary shows Whoarfrost, over time and with coherent explanations from the original band members, Jon Lipscomb, Ethan Snyder and Tim Shaw, and the new horn section which is made up of uber proficient musicians, Tiffany DeFoe, Derrick Michaels, Jarrett Gilgore, John Dieker and Chris Pumphry who plays the keyboard, expressing how they all came together on the fateful night of October 18, 2012 to play their first show as HOARNFROST. The film also follows the band through the rehearsals and right on stage to the live performance of their second show at H&H Building in Baltimore on December 1st, 2012.
Community Watch: HOARNFROST is an impressive effort by Smith and Whaorfrost, because the film gives light to the inspiration and process of how bands and music scenes form.
