ALL MIGHTY SENATORS is a Rock & Soul band from Baltimore, that has extensively funked the U.S. & Canada. AMS released their first recordings under the Baltimore indie label Merkin Records before releasing 3 full lengths under their own Dog Eat Dog Records. Their self-titled full length album was released in late 1994 to both critical & popular acclaim in the Mid-Atlantic. Their live shows, fronted by the charismatic Landis Expandis and guitar wizard Warren Boes, have remained one of the most revered on the East Coast. Although their genre defying sounds have drawn comparisons to such disparate acts as Sly & The Family Stone, Frank Zappa, and Beck, AMS continue to be one of the few true originals. With their latest offering, Checkered Past, New Tomorrow: Essential AMS (1988-2005), AMS have compiled a postmodern musical stew that will make your booty fresh.
