Posts Tagged “5-piece band”

We have started a new band, comprised of the following personnel : Denise Hummer on vocals, Rhett Simmonds on upright bass, Abu on percussion,  and myself on keys. This project is exciting on several levels.  It will allow us the opportunity to explore  Funk, R&B,Jazz, and Caribbean rhythms -  as well as our own originals !!  The  presence of a percussionist as well as a trap set drummer makes for some interesting textural and rhythmical  hues.  Rhett has gotten into some interesting grooves with the percussion section and that adds interest – as well as a different texture !  I’m unsure as to what category (if any), we fit into. Bar Band ?  Show Band ? Event Band ??   I guess if we could do it all – we would be busy !!

Presently, we are appearing at Sapphire Bar and Grill on Sundays 6-9pm, and at Latitude 18 on Wednesdays  7:30-10:30pm.

Some new photos of the rehearsals taking place at the theater. This one is of Frank -n -Furter dressing down Brad during the second act. Lots of sardonic and comic possibilities here. The music in the play runs from straight ahead rock to latin rock, as well as some sweet ballads, with some doo-wop thrown in. There’s some jazzy elements as well. It will be interesting to see how the characters develop, as they get more comfortable with each other and with the music. Will keep you posted as things progress with the costumes and the set design, which will in turn affect the overall production

The adventure is now well underway. This promises to be a hilarious show, with a cast that is game, and a crew that is competent. Now comes the hard work period which is necessary before we can relax and truly get “loose” !!
