A few words on the show from Henley Douglas, Jr.:
“I am very excited about performing at the Larcom on Nov 22, co-headlining with one the best bands on the scene today, The Delta Generators. This show is a reunion of myself, Garret Savluk and Craig Rawding (Delta Generators) of the Heavy Metal Horns. Craig was the lead vocalist for HMH and toured nationally with the band. Garret and I have toured throughout the US, Europe and Japan. Taking the stage with Garret Savluk who has had a big influence on my musical career for almost 25 years, will make this one of the best shows I’ve played this year. With Garret and Yahuba (percussion) playing this show, the music is going to be awesome!”
About the musicians:
Henley Douglas, master sax-man co-fronts HDRnB (Henley-Douglas Rhythm and Blues) with soulful vocalist Douglas Gimbel , an original R&B/soul/groove band that performs nationwide and always delivers the mega-funk. This 6 piece ensemble blows the doors off any venue with sax and trombone, backed with some fine percussion and strings. Big sound and funky grooves that keep you dancing all night. That’s HDRnB.
The Delta Generators are deeply rooted in Delta and North Mississippi blues. Their sound ranges from roots rock to slow blues, Americana to funky soul. “Get on the Horse” has already been nominated for 2014 Blues Album of the Year by the Independent Music Awards. “The Delta Generators provide…the big blast of fresh air the blues-and-roots scene in the Greater Boston metropolitan area has needed for years.” – Frank-John Hadley, DownBeat columnist.“
Puerto Rican conga king Yahuba Torres, known best for his talents in The Ryan Montbleau Band heats things up with some jammy Latin rhythms while Sarah “Lil Shrimp” Seminski of Boston based funk outfit Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket, belts out some classic funk/Soul and modern Hip Hop/R&B with her powerful pipes. Garret Savluk of The Boston Horns, and formerly of Heavy Metal Horns, bands which he founded with Henley Douglas, Jr. brings his bad-action trumpet sound, rounding out what will definitely be a funk and blues festival that music lovers will be talking about well after the last tune is played.
The show will culminate with a stage jam of all the evening’s performers bringing together the biggest sound in funk, blues and soul you’ll hear this far north of the bayou. Tickets range from $19-$35 each in this intimate venue, so ordering ahead is advised. They definitely won’t last. Buy them here: http://gimmelive.tv/?c=32
