The Get Right Band w/ Soul Mechanic & The Shack Band
The Get Right Band
One of Relix Magazine's "On The Verge" picks, THE GET RIGHT BAND is "hip-shaking, earthquaking pure funk fun" (The Alternate Root). Combining catchy, clever songwriting with musical expertise and fearless improvisation, the live show promises to make you shake everything you've got. From funk to rock n' roll to reggae, this is a dance party.
Relix called the band "an ass shaking good time" and Martin Anderson of WNCW radio comments that "The Get Right Band is one of those acts that make Asheville's music scene so vibrant and exciting. They lay down some very cool grooves."
The band is built on the musical brotherhood that guitarist/vocalist Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school. Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, possesses guitar chops that can soothe or rage and a charismatic swagger as a frontman and a singer. "Durocher has an impressive range and rich clarity to his vocalsthink a more soulful Dan Auerbach," writes Connect Savannah. Gentry's virtuosic bass playing "catapults from elastic to nasty" (The Mountain Xpress). With the addition of Jian-Claude Mears, a powerful and dynamic drummer, the group's sound has become an unstoppable force.
The Get Right Band has been wowing audiences around the country and the Caribbean since their inception in 2011 with an unparalleled live show and a relentless tour schedule, playing such legendary festivals and venues as FloydFest (Floyd, VA), Music City Brewers Fest (Nashville, TN), All Go West Fest (Asheville, NC), Steppin' Out (Blacksburg, VA), The 8x10 (Baltimore, MD), The Orange Peel (Asheville, NC), The Pour House (Charleston, SC), The Green Parrot (Key West, FL), Skipper's Smokehouse (Tampa, FL), LiveWire (Savannah, GA), The Beach Bar (St. John, US Virgin Islands), and many more. The band has rocked hard and jammed relentlessly every step of the way.
The band released their hotly anticipated new album, Bass Treble Angel Devil, on September 12, 2014. The hour-long juggernaut of high-energy tunes, bold and witty lyrics, and adventurous production approach has listeners singing along and shaking their booties from track one. The album is gaining traction on college and independent radio stations nationwide and is being lauded for its "infectious, danceable blend of funk, rock, reggae and just plain unique sounds" (Augusta Chronicle).
The Get Right Band's debut CD, Shake, was released in February, 2013. Hittin' The Note Magazine says the disc is "fun, full of energy and excitement, and should be listened to with the volume turned all the way up." The rock n' roll album features stripped down but creatively layered and produced performances of the band's original tunes. It's "groove with rock melodies built on funk attitudes," says The Mountain Xpress. From the seductive blues of "Voodoo Doll" to the dance party vibe of "Chromaticize" to the Caribbean influenced "Touch The Holy," (inspired by the band's Caribbean tours) Shake's "impressive stylistic range manages to all fit within the band's distinctive image" (WNC Magazine). The Grateful Web writes that the disc is a "tasty mix of hip-swinging selections that leaves the listener thirsty for more."
The members of The Get Right Band have played with many of the East Coast's greatest acts, including Laura Reed and Deep Pocket, Woody Wood, Josh Phillips, The Artimus Pyle Band, Scrappy Hamilton (now Truth & Salvage Company), Afromotive, and Royal Trux (Virgin Records), and have shared the stage with national acts such as Galactic, Victor Wooten Band, Mike Dillon Band, Jeff Sipe Trio, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, Jeff Coffin's Mutet, Larry Keel, and Bobby Lee Rodgers.

Soul Mechanic
Soul Mechanic is a unique ensemble compiled of seasoned and schooled musicians, whose journey propels them through harmonies, melodies and intricate funk-inspired jam music rhythms.
The trip began in 2009 when college students Tyler Reddick and Clark Jackson decided to proclaim their ode' to funk. Singer and bassist Tyler Reddick studied music at Chattanoooga State and brings a creative funk outlook to the band. Clark Jackson is a graduate from The Atlanta Institute of Music, being a college athlete before a musician, he brings the intensity from the field to the stage. The band started as a four piece with a supporting cast of musicians such as Ben Cooper, Yattie Westfield, and Tyler Wright. After three years of finding their sound they finally found THE group in long time friends William English and Kyle Kinzalow, who were members of the previous endeavor Dose Mojo. William and Kyle decided after a jam session that they wanted to make Soul Mechanic their full-time job. William English had been playing guitar for over 16 years at the time and was a self-taught phenom. Kyle Kinzalow performed in several bands before Dose Mojo, but finally found the style that he was looking for with William, Tyler, and Clark. When Florida State graduate Jessica Nunn moved from Tallahassee to Chattanooga, things really started to heat up for Soul Mechanic. She teamed up with the squad and her experience added a whole new level to the already driven Soul Mechanic. The newest edition is Jeff McSpadden, a former student and teacher at several independent percussion ensembles. This beast of a percussionist carried over a great vibe from the after-party specialist's Afro and has contributed greatly since his debut.
Recently, Soul Mechanic has elevated their ranks with big performances at Chattanooga's very own "Riverfront Nights" and the fast growing Fly Free Festival. On the come-up, they've played several sold-out after-parties for groups such as Widespread Panic, M.O.E., and Sublime with Rome. This band is hungry and has the potential to be on a major national tour in the near future.

THE SHACK BAND
What originally started as an organic, impromptu and free-flowing collection of musicians casually performing in the renovated remains of a dilapidated "shack" in Blacksburg, VA has morphed into what is now The Shack Band. Since 2010, things have changed. The band relocated from Blacksburg to Richmond, VA. A true lineup was established, with four members signing on. The songwriting abilities and sensibilities matured and improved. At the start of 2013, the quartet became a quintet with the addition of a horn player adding more complex arrangements and texture to the band's already well-established sound. But, the one thing that never wavered was The Shack Band's intent to wow new crowds with their off-the-cuff, high-energy live shows melding funky rock 'n' roll and soaring harmonies with a strong emphasis on song-writing.
In 2012 & 2013, The Shack Band played 250 + shows up and down the East Coast and as far west as Chicago, while performing alongside a number of national touring acts, including: moe., Moon Taxi, The Machine, Perpetual Groove, The Pimps of Joytime, The Heavy Pets, Assembly of Dust, Everyone Orchestra and Dangermuffin among others. Thanks to their raw, infectious live shows and incessant touring, The Shack Band have seen, felt, and heard the effects of their budding reputation and burgeoning fan base. In February of 2012, they released their first EP, Born & Raised, to a sold-out crowd in their hometown of Richmond, VA. For 2014, the goals are simple yet ambitious: hit the rarified level of 200+ live shows, release their first full-length album, and continue to hone their craft while writing and learning new material.
