Acoustic Soul Groove

About Me

Joey has been writing and performing music for nearly 20 years. While he won’t admit to it, rumor has it that he wowed his high school class with a sincere rendition of Tesla"s "Love Song" at a school talent show. The heart and soul of the band, he has written nearly all of NB’s original tunes. His lyrics, voice, and acoustic guitar are the mainstay of Natural Blend.
Wayne is an inveterate dilettante who started dabbling in music as an excuse to make friends, drink beer, and in general have fun. He’s been playing with Natural Blend for about three years. A recent acquisition to his tool set is a 5-string fretless acoustic-electric bass, now played almost exclusively with Natty Blend. The fretless acoustic tone fits perfectly with the clean, natural sound of The Blend.
Justin being one of the original members, has made his return from the far reaches of the planet. He has traveled to the land of feast the isle of famine and carried a fruit box back to grace us with the salt and pepper percussion sounds of today’s Natural Blend.

The Junction is dead

We regret to inform our millions of fans (ok, hey you two!) that The Junction announced today that they are having a farewell party tonight.  Therefore, our Saturday gig won't be happening. ...
