Bio
............ .. .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... This profile is strictly made by and for the fans and followers of The Combo (Dr. Mambo's Combo), a group of legendary musicians that performs every Monday night at Bunker's Bar & Grill in Downtown Minneapolis (http://www.bunkersmusic.com/). .. The Combo (formerly Dr. Mambo's Combo) was formed in the Spring of 1987. Pumping out classics from 20th & 21st century R&B, Soul and Funk, The Combo has been performing every Monday since and will continue to do so "until Hell freezes over" as quoted by drummer Michael Bland. All of The Combo's members have been major players in mainstream and independent music. .. Every once and awhile you can catch Prince and his posse of eclectics chillin' at Bunker's checking out The Combo and sometimes, if you're lucky, he'll get up on stage and jam with them. Other notable guest appearances include: "Jelly Bean" Johnson, Johnny Lang, J.B. of J.B. & The Routine, Charles Hayes, Billy Thommes, Kip Blackshire, etc... .. There is no better deal in the Twin Cities than paying $6 to see some of the most professional and talented musicians in the business today throw out some studio quality classics on a Monday night. Plus the fact that Bunker's has the best sound in the city and kick ass cheeseburgers. So just take one night out out of your week to check em' out. I promise you won't regret getting less sleep that night. .... FOR BOOKING INFO CONTACT: GREG SAIN (GSHARP) AT 612-353-4126 (OFFICE).. Please post comments describing experiences you've had at Bunker's on Monday nights watching The Combo do their thang. .. ...... ....MySpace Codes .. .. If you like The Combo you should also check out the Artist Quarter (www.artistsquarter.com) every Tuesday night to see B3 Night with Billy Franze & Bill Brown doin' their Jazz thang. .. ...... ...... ..
