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.

Reception

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]
