Featured in the book ’Jam Bands: North America’s Hottest Live Groups’, Post Junction brings together funk, jazz, soul, and rock with an emphasis on improvisation. Influences include George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, Jerry Garcia Band, Frank Zappa, and Miles Davis. 2006 saw Post Junction jamming with funk legends George Clinton and Bernie Worrell, inspiring the band to reach for new levels of the funk. 2007 saw Jon Fadem sitting in with George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic and Robert Randolph & The Family Band, while drummer John Morgan Kimock continued his progressive musical education playing with such musical luminaries as his dad, Steve Kimock, Melvin Seals of the Jerry Garcia Band, Donna Jean Godchaux of The Grateful Dead, George Porter Jr. from The Meters, Robert Walter of The Greyboy Allstars, and Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction. Over the past two years, the band’s following has continued to grow, and their original repertoire has expanded dramatically. In 2006, they won Lehigh University’s Battle of the Bands, and they were nominated for nine 2007 Lehigh Valley Music Awards, including best original band, best jam band, most entertaining band, best female vocalist, best guitarist, and best drummer. 2008 promises to be the best year yet for the band, as they prepare for a series of gigs where the band will be joined by legendary Parliament/Funkadelic keyboardist and Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame member Bernie Worrell! --------------------------- "Post Junction likes to groove, and if you’re into funk and jams, you’ll be groovin’ with them. You never know where one of their improvisations is going to go; often the band is surprised too. This jam band has met a good deal of success both locally in the Lehigh Valley and nationally through the jam band network and through shout outs from Relix Magazine. Relix said they believe this band may meet more success than other jam bands because their music is more focused. Their jams aren’t the hour-long, I-forgot-what-song-I-was-listening-to wanderings of some of the other bands in the genre.
A typical Post Junction show may include tunes like Parliament Funkadelic’s "Standing on the Verge of Getting it on" or their "Mothership Connection" and Sly and the Family Stone’s "Sing a Simple Song." However, don’t you dare think for a moment that these are boring, heard-it-all-before covers. The band uses these songs as inspiration for their brilliant
improvisations." --Colette Cope, PennLive.com
-----------------------
"Post Junction is a promising funk/groove band... has a musically smart sound that veers on the more rock side of jazz/funk/groove fusions. It also boasts...more focused songs for this genre, which could give it an edge. A prime example is "Time For Some Answers" with its rhythmic undertow and funky lead guitar work. Other highlights are the alluring instrumental grooves of "Vibe," which aptly lives up to its title and the soulful tones of "Stare Into the Hole." --Mick Skidmore, Relix Magazine
Post Junction live at Musikfest, Bethlehem, PA, 8-6-07, "Play"

I saw you were a friend of Deepak Chopra's, so I thought you might be interested in a new healthy beverage and ground floor home-based business he's endorsing called Zrii, which features the healing Amalaki fruit from the Himalayas. I hope this finds you well.
