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.

Been an exhilarating and challenging journey and well worth the effort! The cast is quite hard working and talented and the band is coming along after some fits and starts.
