PAST PROJECTS


BARNSTORM - 2000

 

 

 

 

 

BARNSTORM, self-titled, first release of early millennium newcomers, Barnstorm. Headed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jeremy ‘Kane’ Lichter. Barnstorm explores the sounds of rock/blues/pop in a masterful quartet setting. Excellently crafted songs and melodies backed by soulful and heartfelt performances with unusual brilliant arrangements. Recorded in just 3 days in a car garage in Los Angeles, CA by recording veteran Gary Ladinsky (Eagles, Van Morrison, Cheap Trick, Moody Blues) and Design FX Audio remote recording facilities. Mastered by Joe Gastwirt at Oceanview Digital.

Barnstorm’s quick success was followed by their quick demise. After bushing arms in early 2000 with then unknown act Maroon 5 in Santa Monica, CA and awaiting the release of their self titled debut the band split up before touring to support their record.
Produced By Gary Ladinsky and Barnstorm

Barnstorm:
Keith Hollis Ladinsky, keys, vocals
Jeremy ‘Kane’ Lichter, lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars
Sean ‘Cave’ Mannion, trap drums, percussion, vocals
Bren ‘Tapatio’ Plummer, acoustic and electric bass. vocals

Keith Hollis And The Po' Boyz Front Cover


PO BOYZ - This organ trio has been my heart and soul since 2005! Come and see us at NOLA Jazz Fest this year 2011 or if your in Boston we play almost every Saturday night in Cambridge, MA

 
 


"[PO BOYZ] drawn-out, eclectic, instrumental approach to their sound calls to mind the Godfather's of the jam band, The Grateful Dead. However, to pigeonhole Po Boyz, even in a genre as immensely broad as a jam band, would be a failure to appreciate the vastness of their genre-spanning sound. A smidgeon of Latin spice, a flood of country, a heaping helping of funk-Po Boyz incorporate virtually every danceable, rock-outable genre of music and embody what unadulterated rock n' roll ought to look and sound like."
Ziggy Steiner - WERS 88.9 FM
PO BOYZ is three parts: Keith Hollis, Hammond B-3 Organ, vocals; Sean Mannion, percussion, vocals; Andrew Wagley, guitar, vocals.

COUNTRY FRIED FUNK


Hammond B-3 organ trio with slide guitar and vocals. Soulful funk grooves and bayou jams with nuances of country and gospel...
Formed in late 2004, with their debut on Frenchman Street in New Orleans during the 2005 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival PO BOYZ are on to something
... good and funky!


Since 2005 the PO BOYZ have a sold a ton of CDs and played some sick shows including opening for New Orleans Meters legend George Porter and Lousiana native Trombone Shorty at the 2007 Squaw Valley Funk Festival.
Look for the PO BOYZ every Saturday night at their weekly residency at the Middle East Club in Cambridge, MA.
