THEN2NOW is a well oiled funk machine. Founded in 1996 by Larry E. Hicks Sr. and Rick Cardona, both Deltona residents from the music scene in Meriden, Conn. Though the brainstorm of Larry Hicks who is the former front man for The Motor City band from Meriden, Ct., Rick was very instrumental in recruiting the right players. In 2002 Rick moved to Tampa, but Larry and the guys continue to bring the party to you. Our matto is “entertain everyone to the fullest”. Since the onset Then2now has become a powerhouse in the Central Florida music scene, capturing the hearts and imaginations of most that come to see them perform. Some of the venues played are as follows; Church Street Station(Orlando), Mel’s Diner(Titusville), Wolfy’s On The Water(Sanford), Gina’s Lakeside Grille(Altamonte Springs) and Inlet Harbor Marina & Restaurant(Ponce Inlet) along with a host of Weddings, Fundraisers, Corporate and Private functions. Although we can play just about anything requested, our specialty is R&B, Soul and Funk, old school like it should be. Our roster is as follows; Larry E. Hicks Sr.(Lead & Background Vocals, Alto Sax, Latin Percussion), Dean Balfour Keyboards/Left hand bass, Lead & Background Vocals), Ronald Sutton(Drums, Lead & Background Vocals), Buddy Kays(Saxophones, Percussion, Background Vocals) and Reggie Calhoun(Guitar, Bass, Background Vocals) and myself Nikki Hicks(Public Relations). This band is a MUST SEE, consisting of a group of excellent musicians and a dynamic front man hellbent on entertaining everyone. Come on out and let us entertain you!!
