Fritz Weber & Luminos is a band from Portland, Oregon whose primary goal is
"making the party happen" at clubs, festivals, private parties and special events. They have a
large repertoire of songs by other artists, as well as their own original music.

Musical influences include: Rock, Jazz, Funk, Blues, Zydeco, Cajun, Caribbean,
New Orleans, Jimmy Buffett, Jam, World, Bossa Nova and Classical. The result is a lively, danceable,
hip-shakin' music with bouncy rhythms. Their music is made colorful by the variety of instruments and styles,
with harmonies which feature both male and female vocals. They create a different play list for every gig
so the music fits each occasion.
