Personnel:
Rev. Chris on piano and vocals
Tony Garro on upright bass
Chuck Lindsey on drums
Richard Redding on saxes
Reverend Chris, piano and vocals, relocated to Philadelphia following a decade in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his home. He brought that Big Easy style of relaxed fonky jazz piano that has made so many other New Orleans keyboardists extremely popular. He has been a member of Brides of Jesus, Restless Natives, New Orleans Juice, Ellen Rogers, Balding Vincents, Dodge City Junkies, Roger Learnard Band, Alryn Wolters, Naked Nuns of Soul, SubStream Quartet. He has performed with many music greats including Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Irvin Mayfield, George Porter Jr., Mark Van Allen (Blueground Undergrass), Russell Batiste (the funky Meters), Charles Neville, Ian Neville, and “Mean” Willie Green (the Neville Brothers), just to name a few. Past gigs include the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Philadelphia Folk Fest, the Palace Casino in Biloxi, Fairmont Hotel’s Sazarec Lounge House Band, Bourbon Street’s Storyville Jazz Parlour House Band and led a New Orleans Jazz Brunch at Philadelphia’s Le Cochon Noir.
Tony Garro, upright bass and vocals, has performed with the Scott Romig Band for over 20 years. He has gigged at many of Philadelphia’s current and defunct music venues with other bands such as Crazy Bread, Dodge City Junkies, Katie Drake and the Roger Learnard Band. With Reverend Chris he has performed as a duo, trio, quartet and larger ensemble. He appears on Reverend Chris’s 2010 live album: “Fool On the Hill”.
Chuck Lindsey, drums and vocals, has been a Philadelphia staple for over 25 years. Numerous appearances at community concerts, nightclubs, bars and the Philadelphia Folk Festival have led to his being extremely on-demand for his laid-back “southern swing”. You can also find him driving the drum kit for the legendary band Beats Walkin’, the Mighty Rhythm Kings and the Delco Nightingales.
