THE MIGHTY SOUL DRIVERS - LIVE from the Fallout Shelter

THE MIGHTY SOUL DRIVERS KEEPING THE MEMPHIS SOUL FLAME BURNING!! A Blistering Soul Music Attack from Masters of the Art! Event Description: Yet another amazing 7 piece orchestra comes to The Fallout Shelter with the great sounds of Memphis and Detroit Soul Music... The Mighty Soul Drivers are New England's keepers of the Memphis Soul flame. Years of playing all kinds of gigs from major festival stages to corner taverns has honed each member's skills to a fine edge. They mine the deepest old Soul nuggets and breathe new life into them while finding the cream of Memphis-styled contemporary tunes and creating their own soulful originals. The Mighty Soul Drivers deliver the goods. From the moment the opening horn riff blasts out of your speakers, The Mighty Soul Drivers pump out the best Memphis-style Soul to be heard in Southern New England. The Players- BOB ORSI - vocals Veteran front man Bob Orsi's dramatic vocals have driven the success of bands from CT's legendary Scratch Band to the award-winning D. Smith Blues Band. Although perhaps better known to the public for his harmonica skills, Bob is also an accomplished rhythm guitarist who brings an extra dimension to several of the songs. And of course it is his impassioned vocals that are at the core of The Mighty Soul Drivers' sound. RIVER CITY SLIM - drums After singing and playing harp as the front man for The Blues Blasters throughout the 90's, Slim has led The Zydeco Hogs as they brought the sound of Louisiana Zydeco and Blues to the Northeast. Slim has been spreading the Soul, Blues and R&B gospel over the air for years as a DJ on WWUH and WAPJ. The idea for The Mighty Soul Drivers had been kicking around in the back of his mind for a while when a chance meeting with Bob at a CT Blues Society jam session in early 2012 finally put the wheels in motion. LARRY WILLEY - guitar Crowd-pleasing guitarist Larry Willey has led Blues and R&B bands for years, including The Working Band and The Blues Talkers. After witnessing the excitement of the Blues and R&B pioneers at the legendary Shaboo Inn in its 1970's heyday, Larry cut his musical teeth with CT Blues pioneers The Albert Otis Band, and has been a fixture on the CT Blues and R&B scene ever since. JOHN SMAYDA - tenor, alto sax Mild-mannered clock-maker by day, leather-lunged R&B sax honker by night -- whether he's got the tenor or the baritone in his hands, John adds a deep dimension to The Mighty Soul Drivers' sound. John's musical resume wouldn't even fit on this page, but suffice to say he's been with bands from the legendary Linda & The Loveletters to The Convertibles and The Kathy Thompson Band. He's also been part of the pit orchestra in theaters as diverse as the Oakdale in Wallingford, Goodspeed Opera House and The Bushnell in Hartford. You may have even seen him with the Moscow Circus! TONY DELISIO - bass Tony has held down the bottom for a number of popular Southern New England bands, most notably the George T. Gregory Band. Tony also worked with War harmonica great Lee Oskar and has done session work with a variety of artists. Besides working with The Mighty Soul Drivers, he also fronts his own trio The Groove Section. NEIL TINT - trumpet Neil put his horn in storage for a while to work and raise a family, but he's dusted off the fedora and white linen jacket to round out the MSD horn section. You may have also seen him occasionally lurking in the horn section with The Savage Brothers, Measured Soul, Cover 2 Cover, and Flashback. STEVE DONOVAN - keyboards Veteran keyboard man Steve Donovan recently returned to his native CT after many years in the Los Angeles area. Steve has appeared with a who's who of West Coast R&B and Jazz bands, and now brings his great keyboard stylings to The Mighty Soul Drivers.
