HDRnB is an original R&B/soul/groove band founded by in late 2010, featuring Henley Douglas Jr. (sax), John Iltis (drums), Charlie O'Neal (guitar), Peter Fedele (guitar) and Brandon Tarricone (guitar) Squantch (trombone), David Walker (bass). The band features Garret Savluk (trumpet) and Yahuba (percussion) on special shows. Henley Douglas Jr.'s early career includes stints with the Big Dig Saxophone Quartet and Skin, a Boston-based funk-rock outfit that would open for acts like the Neville Brothers and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He founded the Heavy Metal Horns, a band that reached international acclaim in the 90s, and for 10 years, fronted the Boston Horns, a funk/jazz band also featuring HMH alum Garret Savluk. A new CD of original music is on the way

Eric Reardon celebrates the release of his new CD on Henley Douglas' new label Sounds Of Salem Soul (SOSS) Records

Eric says he first picked up the instrument at age 9, getting lessons from his father. According to Eric, his early musical influences mirrored his fathersStevie Ray Vaughn, the Allman Brothers and his personal favorite which is Govt Mule.

New England Blues legend James Montgomery he certainly is way beyond I was at his age says Montgomery about Erics guitar prowess. What impresses me and my other band members about him is that he is a very inventive player, way beyond his years in terms of being able to just jam and go with it. His solos are seamless. Hes got really great ears, not only for someone his age, but for anyone.

The thing about Eric is that he has something to say, and he can say it through his instrument and it is totally valid. Thats how you start. Its like learning how to carry on a conversation. Hes a great communicator. said Henley Douglas Jr.
