Doug Grey from The Marshall Tucker Band has been our friend for a long time, He Also provided positive comments on the band. Most of the National Acts always wonder why The Sociables band is not out nationally .
The Sociables are made up of the bluesy, soulful vocal style of Mickey Doll with a backing by the duel lead guitar work of Tom Wachs & Krowbar This is augmented by the blistering Hammond B-3 organ, piano, and synth work of Michael Pyne. The rhythm section of Lars Hansen's intense drumming and Craig Larson’s rock-solid bass grooves fuel the band to create a unique sound. It is easy to see they are totally in their element.
