    Hailing from the suburbs of Central Jersey,"THE MINOR LIFT" is one of the hottest up & coming bands around. The versatile sound of this original/cover band is derived from (4) very hard-working & talented musicians. From Will's earth SHAKING guitar riffs, to Phil's sonicly DEEP BASS lines, followed by Ahmed's INSANE drum beats & fills, it's quite easy to see why these individuals get the response they receive. The multi-talented Matteo, not only grabs your heart & soul with his vocals, but also displays his unique approach to both guitar & keyboard. Their original song setlist has a feel of invitation, while their familiar cover song setlist keeps the audience interactive. Hey... this world needs a soundtrack... and it should be "THE MINOR LIFT." They have been welcomed by the stages of "CBGB's," "Piano's NYC," & "The Knitting Factory," as well as the local favorites, "The Court Tavern," "Cagney's," & "The Harvest Moon." ...So keep your eyes and ears open, because this is the real thing.....
