| Title: | FATHEAD CD RELEASE PARTY at O'REILLY'S PUB |
| Description: | Friday, March 12th at 8pm, join us at O'Reilly's for FATHEAD. Tickets are $15 in advance or at the door. They have been described as a blues tour de force which comes as no surprise. Georgia-raised lead singer John Mays has had a storied career that began in the southern gospel tradition, crossing over into Doo-Wop, R&B and blues, not to mention a stint with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. Hooking up with band leader Al Lerman (harp and saxophone) in Toronto some years later, Fathead's core has remained constant since 1992, offering ace musicianship, soul stirring harmonies and incendiary live performances. The writing tandem of Lerman and basist Omar Tunnoch have produced an impressive body of work that has enjoyed time on the US, European and Canaidan music charts. Guitar ace Teddy Leonard (who left the band in 2006) is back and better than ever, along with iconic drummer Bucky Berger. Elements of funk, soul, and R&B are fused into the group's strong blues backbone, creating a fresh sound that is immediately recognizable as their own. |
