TEN FEET TALL Funk. Blues. Soul.

About Me

The HistoryThe genesis of Ten Feet Tall is legendary. As the story goes, a wise man brought together five musicians who represented the best aspects of a variety of musical traditions: a soul singer, a funk bassist, a jazz pianist/saxman, a blues guitarist and a hip-hop drummer. The five took their differing musical backgrounds, poured them into an iron cauldron, stirred vigorously and brought the swirling concoction to a boil. At just the right moment, the wise man added a double shot of chilled tequila....The resulting explosion blew out the windows in every house on the block and caused NORAD to increase the alert level to DEFCON 3. When the smoke cleared, the five had been fused into a five-headed, ten-armed, giant beast that spontaneously produced a musical sound and style that had never before been heard on this earth, yet was familiar to everyone. Ever since that day, the creature has roamed the Northeastern US, emerging periodically to devour lesser bands and convert nonbelievers into devout followers.The MusicTen Feet Tall describes their music as "Mid-Atlantic Groove Stew". They combine the tastiest elements of soul, blues, funk, and downhome rock into a unique musical concoction with no filler or artificial flavors. Served hot and loud, their infectious grooves and funked-out jams will feed your auditory hunger and keep your pants in motion all night long.The BandTen Feet Tall is: Scott Price: lead vocal, percussion Will Layman: keyboards, sax, backup vox Josh Himmelsbach: guitar, mandolin, backup vox Larry Joseloff: bass, egg shaker Jeff Cohen: drums, gong
