Mike Quick & The Soul Power Band

about

Mike Quick - Guitar and vocals Jimmy Seay - Bass Phil Johnson - Drums Chris Baptiste - Keyboards Doug Spoonamore - Tenor Sax Brian Scanlon - Trumpet Soul blues is alive and well in 2012. With a new hometown – Deland, Florida – and a new album – "Time Change" – Mike Quick is pushing the genre in new directions both lyrically and sonically. "I love Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Johnnie Taylor, and Otis,” says Quick. “I take what I’ve learned from those guys and forge ahead in their spirit. But I got to be me!" With his arsenal of guitars and a voice that sounds like he swallowed Ray Charles, Mike makes raw soul music that you can feel down to your bones. He’s got licks that’ll make you jump and lyrics that’ll make you think, both of which are on display on his latest release, "Time Change". His fourth album, "Time Change", is Mike’s most focused outing to date. Its seven contemporary soul blues cuts run as far south as Stax and as far north as Motown, with Memphis horns and roots reggae swagger in the mix. Mike took some of Orlando’s heaviest blues, soul and funk musicians into the studio with him for the set. The band features Chris Baptiste on Hammond organ and keyboards, with the mighty rhythm section of Jimmy Seay on bass and “Natural” Phil Johnson on kit. The cracking two-man horn section is Doug "Spoon" Spoonamore on tenor and Brian Scanlon on trumpet, and Florida bluesman Shaun Rounds guests on electric guitar and vocals. The band flat out kills it on Mike’s tight arrangem
