"Incus is a combination of light and dark. Under the powerful vocals and drums that drive Incus's music is a soul that is rare. If Incus is dark, then it is dark like the woods under a full moon: unexpectedly bright, full of brilliant stars, inviting, warm, natural and seductive." J. Bonni

Incus's full sonic spectrum has moved audiences from Boston to Miami to LA and back. An article in Boston's Weekly Dig suggested that they would be better suited performing in the woods around a fire in front of thousands, than on stage at a bar. Strangely enough, the band took up the idea and has since been a major headliner at fire festivals all across the country.

Drawing on influences from Middle Eastern, Native American, African and Eastern European musical traditions, Incus is redefining the American Tribal music movement. In addition to five national tours and an independent CD release ("Burning Thread") with guest vocalist Yanka Rupkina, vocalist/composer Jason Cohen is also known for his work developing the "Forestdance Gatherings". Yanka Rupkina, is best known for her work with "The Bulgarian Women's choir", Kate Bush, Linda Ronstadt, and George Harrison. 

The band/tribe is currently made up of composer Jason Cohen on vocals, keys, accordion and percussion, Jacob Sirios on drums and percussion,Chris Baum on violin, and with special guests SJ Tucker and Kara Trott on vocals, Carlos Kampff on upright bass, and Katy Georgio on trombone and vocals. Incus also frequently performs with some incredible dancers, including Jezebel from Phantomime and others. Incus often travels with an accompaniment of beautiful fire spinners when playing venues that allow the art form.

There is certainly a magic that is almost impossible to describe about the band's live show. In both their music and ideology, Incus embraces darkness and embodies light. Experiencing Incus can be deeply emotional, uplifting and joyous. With their "music for fire worshippers", Incus's fiery energy has been gaining national recognition.

"Burning Thread", Incus's first full length self released album (Dragonfly Disc), came out in 2004 and is now selling more units then ever. The band is also currently hard at work on their second studio album. Their latest release, "live and acoustic at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors" was recorded from a performance at Alex Grey's COSM in NYC.

During the last four summers, Jason Cohen and Incus toured over 20,000 miles, making music at over 100 fires, and at various festivals and venues. Incus's future has never looked hotter.
