Sonic Sledge is a band that came together out of the desire of three guys to become one unit and jam their music as well as some of their favorite cover tunes. Starting in the late 90s, the band had made it through a few personnel changes and a big musical change. Staying true to the power trio concept, the band has meticulously picked songs which are both popular and stayed within the playability of three musicians wanting to pull it off to the best of their ability to move the audience from their seats to their feet. With this philosophy we continue to strive for great performance in addition to working up requested songs from the fans who come out to see us nearly every performance. We currently perform rock-n-roll that spans over 5 decades featuring artists from Jimi Hendrix to Seether.
On the LEFT handed guitar, shredding the rhythms and leads is Mike Ward. Mike is relentless in his desire to bring the absolute best show for the fans of rock-n-roll. He studied guitar for four years at the University of Rio Grande. His 6 years experience transcends those talents and abilities of most of his peers of the same experience. His invaluable work ethic makes him the musician he is today. Fans of Sledge had already enjoyed his jams as a special guest with the band for nearly a year before joining the group. His relationship with the band made him a lock to take over the reigns of the six-string.
Being welcomed back into the group is the phenomenal Larry Roush. Larry brings his experience and dedication back to Sledge. As you may know from Larry's first stint with Sonic Sledge, his guitar work is nothing short of mind-blowing. His ability to mesmerize a crowd with his fretwork and the humbleness of his character is the ultimate compliment to the music he plays and to the band. Larry has rejoined Sledge as a guitarist, but you might find him jamming on the bass until we find a full time member to stroke the four string! Don't fret, because Larry makes that bass sing just as well!
Plucking the four stringed thing is the rhythm monster Tim "Red Dog" Moore. Red Dog is solid on the bass with the ability to jam the music and actually add and enhance the rhythm section with his talent and skills. The experience he brings to Sledge can only be equaled by the openness to play any song out there. He also brings a level of energy that is infectious through the band and crowd alike.
Rounding out the group is the multi-talented B.J. Rocchi. Simply known as Beej, he has the heartbeat of a drummer and the soul of a vocalist. Beej began singing out of necessity when Sonic Sledge originally formed in the late 90s with their original music while contributing his lyrics to the original bluesy sound of the band.
At this time, Sonic Sledge would like to give major props and thanks to Joey & Lusher, our support crew, who are there working tirelessly loading/unloading equipment, setting up/tearing down as much as they possibly can. We couldn't do it without them!! We have to send huge love and thanks to our family, friends and fans who have sacrificed their time to support our passion for music and entertainment! Thank you ALL so so much for your continued inspiration! We appreciate each and every one of you!
