Band Members
Brother George is funking things up with some personnel changes!Drums: Jason - has been playing drums for a variety of groups in a plethora of styles ranging from traditional country to progressive metal for the last 19 years. He also currently plays with the instrumental freestyle fusion band Asonus Persona, and teaches at King's Music in downtown Sharon. Keyboards & Vocals: Brother George - is a talented keyboard player and lead singer who started out with the Dick Clark caravan of stars at the young age of 17 and later went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has written and sold songs to various artists as well as performing in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Youngstown. Brother George always has a wise crack or two and keeps the SOULSATIONS BAND loose on stage. Woodwinds & Vocals: Gordon - plays woodwinds as well as singing background vocals. Gordon was a saxophone performance major. He has performed with area funk and soul bands including the Itells, Eddie C and the Bees, King Kong, and The Electric Jazz Ensemble and he has played in the warm up acts for Cool and the Gang, and Bloodstone. He also performs with the Don Burns Orchestra, the Doug Butchy Big Band, Carman Mico, Gentlemen of Swing, the Mercer Community Band, Buhl Park Band, Pair-O-Docs, as well as guest performances with the River Saints, and F/X Project. Guitar, Vocals & Blues Harp: Tom - has played with a number of area bands. He brings exciting tonal expression to the band when he starts comping on his harp and his expressive guitar style adds the funky rhythms to the SoulsationsBand.
Bass & Vocals: Martha - is rock steady on the bass adding the funky kick to the band with her soulsational bass lines. Her custom bass guitar is a knock out as is her singing lead and background vocals.
