Marble Garden is a Kalamazoo Jam-band combining progressive blues with Southern-style Soul and jazz-fusion. Leroy Horn's soulful vocals complimented by the dual prowess of Angelo Santelli's slide guitar and Leroy's own guitar, Tom Eldred's B3 organ layering the funk with lush overdriven chords, or at times honking on the alto sax, with Matt Triple Forte's bass acting as a third guitar laying down growling subsonic grooves, and guests propel the band with a funki-fried percussive force. From straight up blues, stompin' like a potato masher to jazz-fusion jamming to intense, feedback-laced grooves, Marble Garden is a unique jam-band playing music you can't hear anywhere else.

The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes or stirrup bone located in the middle ear. It is approximately .11 inches (.28 cm) long and man does it shake when people get down. As I'm sure they did while listening to your track during last week's show.
hey i just realized the papa pete's performance thing is 18+, but i'm not 18 for another 2 weeks, would they still let me in after 9 because i'm playing keys?
New recordings sound sweet fellas! I'll definately be getting one of those CD's when it's done. You guys need to hit up Callahan's in Auburn Hills. Honeytribe just played there a few weeks ago and we did a show with The Brother's Groove there that you can check out on Youtube.
just noticed that you guys are coming back to rock out the blues fest, awesome! i was wondering what time y'all were gonna be going on so i can try to get off work and come down and check you guys out again. i've been spreading the good word up here so hopefully all my dead beat friends will get off their asses and come down and have their faces melted. looking forward to being rocked! -sam
