Band Biography

LOUISIANA REGGAE/FUNK THE UNIQUE IRIE TONES OF
HENRY TURNER JR. & FLAVOR

HIT CITY RECORDS - ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Additional information @: www.henryturnerjr.com
or www.flavor.ballardsbytes.com

            What happens when you mix different people, from different backgrounds, with different musical styles? What happens when all of these people have a deep love and respect for their art form? You create the unique irie tones of Louisiana reggae/funk band Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor.

            The concept for the band started with Turner’s idea to develop a completely new kind of music, a fusion of contemporary and ethnic rhythms that would appeal to a cross section of fans in national and international markets, therefore creating a brand new music genre – Louisiana Reggae/Funk. Comments Henry, “I consciously wanted an infused sound, one with elements of R&B, reggae and blues, with some jazz chording. Mr. Turner wanted to create a completely different kind of sound. Henry, who is also the president of Hit City Records, has managed several successful independent bands and artists. This, with the love of music that started from an early age, has allowed him to bring together a unique collection of people.

            As lead vocalist and guitarist, Turner honed his skills playing in cover bands and on studio recordings. Recently one of the songs recorded with his first band The Crystals, entitled “Giving My Love To You,” was featured on the television show “Chuck” His early musical influences came from blues and jazz greats B.B. King and George Benson, as well as the hypnotic mellow reggae tones of Bob Marley. In the 1980’s he put his career on hold, working at various record labels, which led him to found Hit City Records, a management and promotion company. His experiences in the independent music scene eventually inspired him to put a new band together, get back onstage, and write material for this new musical genre.....

.. ..

            Joining him on this quest, in 1990, was veteran R&B drummer Ronnie Houston, who is considered the senior member of the troupe. Houston, who has toured the United States and Europe since the 1970’s, credits Bobby Powell, James Brown, Buddy Rich and Billy Cobham for his intricate and syncopated drumming style..

            Bassist James Turner , is the newest member of the band. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, James is a skilled bassist who is also proficient on rhythm guitar, percussion, drums and keyboard. He has played with a number of outstanding musicians during his career, including Stax label stars Rufus and Carla Thomas and for four and a half years, he backed renowned soul man Al Green. ....

            ....

2007 marked the release of the band’s 4th CD LOUISIANA FUNK BUFFET, an upbeat look at the continuance of life and love after Hurricane Katrina. The band debuted the new CD at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, with crowd and radio favorites being Ugly Man,” “Look My Way and Gonna’ Be Alright.” They culminated their tour at Bobfest (formerly the Bob Marley Festival) in ....San Antonio...., with stops along the way that included Hemp Fest and Reggae On The Mississippi.   ....

 

In 2005, in the aftermath of the devastation, the ....Baton Rouge.... residents were inspired to release two singles: GIVE ME LOVE, recorded live at Café Negril in ....New Orleans...., and picked up by Hurricane Healing (www.hurricanehealing.us) for its Volume II compilation CD; and MERRY CHRISTMAS, which garnered airplay throughout the ....United States..... 2006 releases include LOUISIANA LEGENDS AND POLITRICKS and I LIKE TO SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE (but I don’t smoke dope). ....

.. ..

            Henry Turner, Jr. & Flavor’s music has been described as … “a sure crowd pleaser” and to that end, the band tours extensively in support of their singles and CD’s that include WILL WORK FOR FOOD AND MONEY, FACING THE MILLENNIUM and LOUISIANA GUMBO COMBO. Past single hits include FAT BABY, LIMBO, LOUISIANA FUNK, PRAISING JAH and FAMILY, to name few.

Lucius Lowe brings one of his earliest productions "Sweet music" bang up-to-date on the latest release from Boogs Music. The package brings three different flavours to your record box - The classic, smooth vocal house sound of the "High on the groove mix," Hard-hitting club sounds from the "Thru the roof mix" and the deep and soulful groove of the original 2003 mix. Featuring haunting vocals from newcomer Lois Taylor, the package gives an accurate measure of how Lucius' production skills have been honed between composition of the original 2003 mix and more recent remixes. The "Thru the roof mix" also marks Lucius' first commercial release, included on the compilation CD "Dancefloor '06" from Manchester's D6 Records. Think Ian Carey meets the Groove Junkies and you won't be far off with this excellent offering from Boogs Music...
Release date 9th december, advance promo's available NOW at:
