ALL'S EYE BUNDLE — Ari Joshua, Kris Yunker, Ben Atkind
The All's Eye Trio brings together Ari Joshua on guitar, Kris Yunker on organ, and Ben Atkind on drums — a deep groove unit blending psychedelic rock, boogaloo funk, and improvisational fire. Across releases like "West Hill Road," "Say What You Wanna Say," "Gramama," and "Saturday Sessions," the trio captures a raw analog energy that feels both classic and completely alive.
Early reviews point to the chemistry right away — "a seamless blend of jam band psychedelia and intricate musicianship" with "expressive guitar melodies" and "shimmering keys anchored by precise and dynamic drumming."
On "West Hill Road," critics highlight "razor sharp guitar leads" and a "dazzling organ solo" that trades off effortlessly between players, showing a band built on conversation and movement.
Live in the room recordings like "Saturday Sessions" reveal the deeper pocket — "spontaneous magic when three musicians lock into a groove," channeling the spirit of the masterful bands before them without losing their own identity.
At its core, All's Eye is "a vehicle that defies genres," moving fluidly between structured songs and open-ended jams, always rooted in groove and feel.
This bundle captures a series of releases born out of real sessions, real interplay, and a shared language — music that stretches, locks in, and opens up every time you hit play.

Ari Joshua's Lions RaAR — The Complete Bundle Ari Joshua · Ray Paczkowski · Russ Lawton Some music finds you. Some music you find.
Over the course of an extraordinary creative partnership, guitarist Ari Joshua joined forces with two of the most celebrated rhythm section players in the jam world — Ray Paczkowski and Russ Lawton, both renowned members of Trey Anastasio Band, LaMP, and Soule Monde to create something truly special.
Recorded by legendary Phish engineer Ben Collette in Burlington, Vermont, these sessions captured a rare kind of magic. The kind that only happens when world-class musicians lock into a room together with no agenda other than pure expression. Ben's ears and instincts — honed across decades of recording some of the most beloved live music on the planet — helped shape a sonic landscape that is warm, alive, and deeply human.
The result? Some of the tastiest recordings of Ari Joshua's career.

Every track is a conversation. Every song a place you'll want to return to.

A new six-song EP, RAAR by guitarist Ari Joshua, featuring Ray Paczkowski and Russ Lawton from Soule Monde and the Trey Anastasio Band is coming out November 16th. More gorgeous original psychedelic rock-jazz fusion tracks from the February 2021 recording sessions in Burlington, Vermont can be anticipated for intermittent release in the coming months, and a vinyl album is anticipated in 2022.
“The eclectic multi diverse styles I write in work best with folks that can play or understand the jazz language but also can also serve the music with a knowledge of Rock, and African music. As odd as it sounds, even in the best of times, it’s hard to find the right people to work with in this style. Ray and Russ were able to interpret my music creatively and intuitively from the first or second take, it was a real joy to watch things unfold, they also were all about getting to business, I really felt as though I was with really like minded souls. From the first note of recording I could sense that Ray and Russ were a perfect musical fit, there was a shared respect and love for the music you don’t always find out there.”
In the Winter of 2020-21, in the middle of the pandemic, Ari Joshua flew into the snowy city of Burlington, Vermont to collaborate with drummer Russ Lawton, organist Ray Paczkowski, and long-time Phish Vermont recording engineer Ben Collette. The excitement sparked an intense and healthy writing spree. Ari composed about 25 demos in all.
“As I climbed into an airplane with my two favorite guitars, and a checked suitcase full of audio toys, I knew it was gonna be a great adventure to travel to Burlington and track with these guys, but I had no way of knowing the level of magic and flow that would unfold.”

They say it takes time to master something, and these ideas are finally coming together. This is just a glimpse of what's to come, but I can't wait to share it. While the music and the education are a huge part of how my heart and soul operate, I should also take a moment to thank Sarah, the love of my life. She has finally finished her master's degree and practicum and is now launching a business venture of her own, and we are looking for a new place to move to. Life goes on! Much love to you.
