SEEKING
Keyboard.ABOUT
The Encounters are a tribute to the legends of Motown, R&B, Soul and Rock, from Aretha Framklin to (Led) Zeppelin. Our trademarks are powerful, soulful vocals backed by crisp guitar, big organ and piano sounds, and the unmistakable sound of harmonica, plus great vocal harmonies and a tight rhythm section that delivers our audiences polished, professional and exciting performances.
The Encounters material covers a wide range of influences from BB King, Junior Wells, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Susan Tedeschi and other masters to artists like The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and others. Plus, we add Motown, R&B and Funk influences like Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone and more plus original tunes to deliver an upbeat and highly entertaining show that fans equate with their "favorite songs" from The 1960's to today.
You can listen to songs we recorded with our original keyboard player and vocalist at .bluestorch.
