ALTO REED
Native Detroiter Alto Reed made his name as one of the founding members & longtime saxophonist in Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band, lending his signature soloing to Seger classics like "Turn the Page," "Horizontal Bop," "Main Street" & the All-Time-Classic "Old Time Rock & Roll" featured in the unforgettable Tom Cruise underwear scene in "Risky Business". During the late '90s, Reed started a solo career to complement his work with the Silver Bullet Band, electing to explore contemporary crossover jazz instead of hard-driving rock & roll. Reed's solo debut, Cool Breeze, was released in late 1997, adding touches of pop, rock, and R&B to melodic jazz. In 1999, Reed was selected to score the film version of Jeff Daniels' Escanaba in Da Moonlight. On their most recent tour, Bob & the Silver Bullets were #1 Box Office World Wide, selling out 22,000 seat arenas in less than 3 minutes which translated into 50 sold out shows & over 1,100,000 tickets sold. Alto has recently formed a new band called Alto Reed's "Blues Entourage" and has just performed at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival which is one of the largest Jazz and Blues Festivals in the world. The TaleGators - "Tonight We Ride" brings his inimitable RockStyle back into the spotlight once again!
STEVE DICKINSON
Steve Dickinson is one of those rare artists who can get right to the core of what the good old days were all about. This prolific Ontario singer-songwriter has carved a nice niche of romanticizing the times when being young and reckless were all that mattered.
His musical stories hark back to the glory days when life was simple and hopes for the future shone brightly. Steve stamps those stories into the psyche with his crystal clear vocals and a melodious, roots/rock type sensibility that, like Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, have a distinctive and unmistakeable sound.
Fortunate enough to open for a long list of international performers early on, Steve has won over new audiences on the strength of his own material, whether solo or co-written. Steve has been recognized by some of the industries best over the years.
THE BAND:
Bobby East, Guitar: Multi-platinum former Kid Rock sideman who has also dazzled audiences with his other projects Hemi-God and the Reefermen.
Jeff Fowlkes, Drums: Multi-platinum / Kid Rock, Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise, Dave Matthews Band, Allman Bros Band.
Roger Noonan, Bass: Bob Seger, Aretha Frankin, Elliot Lurie’s “Looking Glass”
Bernie Palo, Keyboards: Lifelong Detroiter Palo is firmly established as the local “go-to” guy for all things Hammond . He has been a veteran of numerous bands on the regional scene for more than 25 years, including favorites the Regular Boys and Filter Kings. Palo is also currently playing keys for rising Nashville star and Detroit transplant David Shelby.
Barbara Payton, backing vocals: Bob Seger’s Silver Bullet Band, Kid Rock, Eddie Money, Joe Cocker
2009 has been an exciting time for Barbara. First, Kid Rock's "All Summer Long", prominently featuring Barbara's backing vocals, was nominated for a Grammy. In mid January she picked up her double platinum album for Rock n Roll Jesus. And the icing on the cake-- Barbara and Thornetta Davis went to Washington to sing at the Inaugural Youth Ball. You can go to www.kidrock.com to view their performance in DC!
Cheryl Lescom, backing vocals: Jeff Healy, Matt Minglewood, Dutch Mason and the Detroit Women in R&B.
Laura Creamer,With the release of WEST OF DETROIT, her new CD , Singer-songwriter Laura Creamer continues to step out on her own.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, her first professional performance was singing a commercial for Kroger Foods at the age of ten. Laura performed in school productions, singing and acting, then continued to study music and theatre at Wayne State University in Detroit.
Since moving to Los Angeles, her career has mostly been in supporting roles, singing and arranging backing vocals for hit acts like Bob Seger, Eric Clapton, Glenn Frey, The Scorpions, Thomas Dolby, Bruce Hornsby, Joe Walsh & Kid Rock. She has also written songs for movies and television. "The supporting roles make me feel productive - like I'm helping to make something work" says Laura.
