Reilly Noir: JK & the Contraband

Led by guitarist and composer John Krasula, JK & the Contraband delivers a genre-blurring live experience that fuses jazz, funk, and improvisation with the raw energy of ‘90s alternative rock. Known for their “tight-but-loose” feel and fearless stage presence, the band brings a fresh, modern edge to both familiar songs and original material.

The first set reimagines iconic ‘90s rock — from Nirvana and Soundgarden to Smashing Pumpkins and Queens of the Stone Age—transforming grunge-era classics into atmospheric, groove-driven arrangements.

The second set dives into the band’s original music: cinematic, exploratory compositions that blend jazz fusion, hip-hop-influenced rhythms, and psychedelic textures into an immersive, high-energy performance.
