Details:
It''s The Color Of A Hot Summer Daze...A Mind Full Of Clever Wit...Slammin'' Beats...and Youthful Exuberance...Red-Headed Boogie Child...Its name inspired by the absence and hunger for an exciting, authentic, groove-driven melodic sound which was missing from the shores of New Jersey - the land from which this magnificent band hails.
The recipe starts with an incredible variety of deep-seated grooves that make your whole body move. Then add songs drenched with infectious melodies, citing influences from Sly & The Family Stone, Squeeze, and Steely Dan to Jamiroquai, Sublime, and Maroon 5. Mix in a truckload of unbridled enthusiasm, and you have RHBC. The band has found a way to naturally blend classic and neo-soul dance grooves, catchy-yet-sophisticated pop hooks, and modern rock into a sound of its own. The result is an energetic blend that is never stiff or contrived. Boogie Child is the real deal.
Sounds great!...but what else has this band done? How about over 600 live performances under their belts...three amazing full-length original songs CDs considered by many to be some of the best material released anywhere in years...being selected out of 800 regional bands to perform at Philadelphia''s legendary Trocadero Club in Disc Makers'' Independent Music World Series...opening up for BB King and Buddy Guy at New Jersey''s 10,000-seat PNC Bank Arts Center.
Vocalist / guitarist / songwriter Don Lee and drummer / vocalist Ken "Booty Brown" Masson co-founded the band a few years back, bringing their unique brand of rock-n-soul and funk-n-roll to the New Jersey Shore. Bassist Ryan Hackett and vocalist / percussionist / flutist Karen Cassidy have recently joined the fold, cementing the current lineup. A variety of local legends solidify the onstage lineup, including keyboardists Drew Brady and Sir Dennis Nanton and saxophonist Tim Leland. RHBC is magnetically charged and ready to rock.
