“We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine; and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular… We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result.” – Edward R. Murrow, May 9, 1954
Forged in the hellish fire that is Northern New Jersey, The
Congregation emerges with a style of blues that is hard-hitting and heartfelt; fueled by musical and emotional
juxtaposition, The Congregation plays an energetic blend of original songs and old favorites with a decidedly
postmodern edge.
Influenced by a diversity of style, The Congregation's music reflects the pan-cultural aesthetic that is Essex, Bergen,
Union, Passaic, and Morris counties. Jazz, rock, soul, and cowboy themes interweave with complex melodies, biting
rhythms, and the distinctive flavor of pine trees and exhaust fumes which lurks just beneath the surface.
