SOTD 2/16/26 is Geoduck by Kudu

The WMNF Song of the Day for February 16, 2026 is “Geoduck” by Kudu.

Fun Fact #1: Kudu exists within the ether someplace between funk, jazz, soul, and world psychedelia. Heavy on the funk. The Band Consists of: Dave Himmelfarb – Vocals, Guitar, Dan Otis- Organ, KC Wolfe- Bass, Nick Dempsey-Sax, and Patty Schwing-Drums.

Fun reality #2: The music title “Geoduck” references the Pacific Northwest clam pronounced “gooey-duck”. Kudu tells us that Geoduck began its life as a bassline, which grew up right into a JB’s impressed groove. Many of their tunes are named after Mother Nature’s weirdest creatures, so the large clams referred to as geoduck appeared like a very good match.

Geoduck is off Cane Toad, Kudu’s second EP, bringing collectively tracks they’vee been engaged on recording and mixing with producer Mike Manion over the past 12 months.

Fun Face #3: You’d be forgiven for not selecting up this, however Kudu really began as a bluegrass/Americana band known as “Rabbit Run” in 2014. When two members left to take jobs elsewhere, guitarist Dave Himmelfarb and drummer Patrick Schwing determined to take the band in a radically new course.

Members of Kudu are becoming a member of The Vortex at 5am for the radio debut of Geoduck and usually hang around. If you aren’t up at the moment, you may take heed to The Vortex for one week at wmnf.org.

Fun Fact #4: You can see Kudu dwell in motion on April 4 at The North End Taphouse, in Gulfport, FL.
