Just saw east bay soul in Seattle this summer. Fantastic. I don’t know if I can live without you guys again soon! I had my wife and some friends and we all felt the same.

I wrote you before the show last night at Sculler’s letting you know how much is was looking forward to the show.
Well, you guys rocked the house last night. Truly one of the best musical performances I have ever seen. I can’t say enough. I felt the presence of War, Marvin Gaye and Al Green on the old classic vocal performances and sounds of Peabo Bryson and some Herb Alpert on some of the instrumental tracks (Greg I hope that is a complement) and some TOP too. I was really impressed by the “musicianship” that Greg mentioned at the outset of the show. Definitely 10 of the best musicians I have heard. Having been a fan of R&B, Soul and Funk for the last 40 years, it was a great experience to see what you guys can deliver. I could have listened to you for another two hours!

Guys, thank you so much for coming to Rams Head in Annapolis. You made my year! I’ve seen many concerts over the years including TOP about 20 times and this year Santana with the Allman Brothers, but Saturday night put you guys at the top of my list. I thoroughly enjoyed every song you did Time just passed too quick and I agree with Greg that this is the most talented group he has been around. Picking a favorite was tough, but if I had to the Night in Rio was out of site! Thank you also for taking the time to sign autographs after the show. I know you had to get on your way to Boston and you were pressed for time; so I appreciate it. I do know that any non funk soldiers in the crowd before the show have become totally converted by the end

Thank you Greg and band! FABULOUS show at Oakland Yoshi’s Thursday, 7/10! I already can’t wait for you to come back again. Greg, you are a hell of a band leader! You and your band have captured the spirit of the ’70’s east bay sound and still sound fresh and innovative. Love it, love it, love it! PLEASE keep doing it!
