Mingo Fishtrap is a soul and funk band based in Austin, Texas.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] They were formed in the mid-1990s in Denton, Texas. The band consists of Roger Blevins, Jr. (guitar/lead vocals), Chip Vayenas (drums/vocals), Dane Farnsworth (organ/keyboards), Roger Blevins Sr. (bass), Steve Butts (trumpet/flugelhorn), and Dan Bechdolt (tenor saxophone). They have, with a few personnel changes over the years, released six albums and one concert video.

Reception[edit]

Before a performance in Raleigh, North Carolina, in July 2016, Indy Week's Timothy Bracy wrote, "Long-running Austin soul and funk outfit Mingo Fishtrap features an agreeably accomplished horn-driven sound evocative of everything from Curtis Mayfield to early Chicago. Infectious tunes and plentiful chops figure to make for a crowd-pleasing evening."[8]
