THE TOMMY LEPSON BAND

Combine the soulful, award-winning vocals of Tommy Lepson with the versatile instrumental backing of his band (veterans of Nils Lofgren, Danny Gatton, The Nighthawks, Mary Ann Redmond, Catfish Hodge and Tom Principato) and you get what the Washington Post calls "A sweltering mix of good-foot funk, blue-eyed soul and Southern rock romps."

Since 1991, the Tommy Lepson Band (formerly the Lazy Boys) have been performing and recording originals, Blues and Soul Classics and new versions of obscure R&B gems. With three CDs to date ("Live & Durty," "Ready For This?", and "A.M. 53") the band has built a reputation for great vocals (Tom alone has won 11 "Wammies"), awesome instrumental chops, and arrangements that combine American roots music styles with Latin Percussion. Members of the band have appeared live with Bruce Springsteen, Joe Walsh (Eagles), Jeff  "Skunk" Baxter (Steely Dan, Doobie Bros), and shared the stage with the Neville Brothers, Jeff Beck, John Hiatt, Willie Colon, and countless others.

An evening with the Tommy Lepson Band, whether live or on disc, is a musical journey that will rock you, move you with emotion, tickle your funnybone and make you get up and shake your tailfeather. So come on out and hear the voice that Little Feat's Shawn Murphy calls "one of the best"!


"Tommy is the best blues singer and Hammond organ player DC has ever had. AM 53 is full of beautifully honed songs in the tradition of what I call DC R&B. As all cities have their style of music, this is what DC has always been about." --Paul Reed Smith, PRS Guitars
