About

I live in Red Bank area and currently have a rhythm section (rhythm guitar, bass and drums) of band that plays a blend of 60’s soul, country, some surf and blues that transcend genre and are simply good songs. We would like to add a keyboard player who enjoys these styles. We can be load and fun, but we shy away from classic rock – hence we have had some challenges finding a lead guitar player who knows how to serve the song as well.

Influences include Chess Records, Atlantic Records in 60’s, Lost Highway Records today, Underground Garage on XM radio, Outlaw Country on XM radio, Stax Records, Magic Sam, The Ventures, James Brown, George Jones, Curtis Mayfield, Buck Owens/Bakersfield, The Meters etc. -- diversity, but all tasty and soulful stuff. Our age range is between 45-55 but all ages welcome. Singing is helpful. Attitude more important than experience. Located in central Jersey from Princeton to Red Bank.

Influences

Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, The Meters, Jimmie Nolan from James Brown’s band, Freddie King, Stax Records, Eddie Hinton, Duane Eddy, Wanda Jackson, Otis Rush, The Ventures, The Sonics, Lucinda Williams, Magic Sam, Jimmie Vaughn 1980's era Fabulous Thunderbirds, Booker T. and The MG’s, Magic Sam, The Ventures, James Brown, George Jones,
