Hey Funkers,
Very glad to announce my latest live project: MSTV. We are playing one Sunday a month at Armando’s in Martinez. August 18th will be the next one. The band consists of players who have actively been a part of the Bay Area Funk scene for 30+ yrs, both live and on recordings. The band consists of ‘T’ (Tom) Moran on drums, whom I’ve played off and on with since 1973 when “So Very Hard To Go” was on the radio; Bobby Vega whom I’ve toured with in several different settings and done countless recordings with. Rounding out the line-up is keyboard extraordinaire Tony Stead, whom I really enjoy playing with, and we’ll be having a different singer each time to keep things fresh. Fred Ross will be singing on the 18th.
Sly, Tower, Otis for days. Works for me. We’ll be re-visiting a lot of soul instrumentals, as well, like early Santana, Booker T, The Meters, etc. Hope to see you on our FONKY (with an O) Sundays.
