About Me

The Reid Project was started over ten years ago by Lonnie Reid, Terry Reid, and Butterscotch as the core of the house band for Cleveland's legendary music club, House of Swing, for its Thursday night musicians night. At that time we had no idea that the band would take on a liife of its own that was much more than the sum of its parts. The Reid Project started blurring the lines between blues, R&B, funk, and jazz to the point where no one could reallty tell what type of music the Reid Project played.

The Thursday night musicians night is still in full force and some of the musicians who have participated over the years includes bassist extrordinare Bill Dickens, drummer Greg Bandy, legendary pianist Bobby Few, and Hammond B3er Pierre Swared.

Although Butterscotch is not as active as she once was, she is still a member of the Reid Project and is as saucy as ever. The current configuration is:

Lonnie Reid: Guitar and vocals

Ben Mostella: Trumpet and vocals

Tim Jackson: Bass

Bob Frey: Saxophone

Butterscotch: Vocals

Harry Baccus: Drums
