- The Reflections
< Doo Wop Roster Detroit, MI, USA The Reflections < Previous Next > Doo Wop Acts From their inception in 1956, The Reflections have always had something to do to keep them busy. Starting out as The Parisians, these high school friends passed the time singing in the halls of school and on street corners around Detroit. A couple of years, a couple of name changes, a couple record labels, and a couple of non-charting recordings later, they ended up as The Reflections under contract to Golden World Records.In 1964 their first Golden World release “Just Like Romeo and Juliet” made history by elbowing its way to Billboard’s #1 R&B and #6 Pop in an era where the British invasion was dominating both the charts and the airwaves, leaving no room for American acts. They followed “Romeo and Juliet” up with several top 40 hits in quick succession; “Poor Man’s Son”, “Shabby Little Hut”, and “Like Columbus Did”. 1964 also brought an appearance on American Bandstand, a 38 state tour on the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars, and 10 days at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, making them one of the few white acts to perform there at the time. 1965 brought more appearances on American Bandstand, a multi-state tour with the Godfather Of Soul James Brown, a 28 state tour with The Dick Clark Caravan Of Stars, and a trip to Hollywood to appear in the movie “Winter A-Go-Go”. Subsequent years were packed with appearances on TV shows such as Hulabaloo, Shindig, The Mike Douglas Show and others, performances across the country live on stage with some of the greatest names in Rock & Roll history, and numerous recordings. The reason The Reflections have been able to stay so active throughout the decades is because of their tremendous vocal ability. Terry Stewart, President of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame put it best when he said “These guys could sing the phone book and bring the house down”. Today The Reflections are better than ever, performing their show entitled “The Best Of Bandstand” which takes their audience on a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. The show features their hits that they sang on their numerous appearances on American Bandstand, as well as the greatest hits of many of the other artists that appeared on the show over the years. In their 6th decade, The Reflections are still keeping busy performing around the country. They continue to do what they have always done best…..Classic Doo-Wop and Rock & Roll from a gone but not forgotten era.

- Kenneth Gill Music
< Swing Roster Detroit, MI, USA Kenneth Gill Music Swing Acts < Back Next > My name is Kenneth Gill, known as KG to some. I am a trombonist, band director, music pedagogue, composer, arranger, and producer. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan; that is where my musical career began. Growing up, my father often told me about his early musical endeavors and exposed me to his favorite musicians. The first trombonist that he let me hear was Wayne Henderson of the Jazz Crusaders. His beautiful sound sparked an interest in my mind and desire to play the trombone. As soon as the opportunity presented itself to join the school band, I took it. My father took me to purchase my first trombone at Hewitt’s Music store and I joined the William Ruddiman Middle School band. I later attended the Detroit School of Arts before earning a Bachelor of Music in Education degree from Howard University and a Master of Music degree from Kent State University. While at Howard University, I was exposed regularly to the lectures of Donald Byrd, Grady Tate and other legendary musicians and pedagogues. It was common for jazz experts and other in demand musicians to walk into the Howard University Jazz Ensemble rehearsals. Those formative years had an indelible impact on me. Since completing my education, I have been charting the course for my own music endeavors through teaching, composing, and conducting research on diverse topics within the musical realm. In 2015, I released a single entitled Work in the Morning and in 2019 an LP entitled The Good News. As an in-demand trombonist, I have recorded and performed with various artists and ensembles. In addition to keeping a full schedule as a working musician, I serve as a certified music educator in Michigan schools while pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts in Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation from the University of Michigan, also working as a graduate student instructor. Some notable artists with whom I have graced the stage include: The Four Tops, Terence Blanchard, Kurt Elling, Darius Rucker, Marcus Belgrave, Gerald Wilson, Grady Tate, Donald Byrd, Clark Terry, Yusef Lateef, Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster, Gladys Knight, El DeBarge, Boyz II Men, Tori Kelly, Martha Reeves, Ray Chew, Les Nubians, Jennifer Holiday, Mutiny, Mike Phillips, and more.

- Bobby Cool and The Nashville Players
< Blue Grass Next >>> < Previous Bobby Cool and The Nashville Players Nashville, TN, USA Blue Grass Acts Bobby Cool is one of those singer-songwriters who invites us into his living room as he details the joys, the tears, and the emotional ups and downs of everyday life. Like Robert Earl Keen, Cool is a natural songwriter who tells stories in a way that resonate with people. Cool’s emotional authenticity sparkles in his pure vocals, which convey with a tender passion the moving power of small moments in our lives and soar with a poignant fullness as they evoke stirring feelings of common bonds between neighbors, friends, and family. In the vein of Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, and Sturgill Simpson Cool blends bluegrass, americana, and country into a rousing mix that delivers deep feeling in good-time music that remains with us even after the record is finished. The Alpharetta, Georgia native, whose real-life family surname is quite literally Cool, first fell in love with country music in high school, where upon he picked up playing guitar right before graduation. Not long after, Cool began playing shows and writing songs while attending the University of Georgia in Athens. “My first gig was at this dive bar called ‘DT’s Downunder’. It was a whole in the wall joint that could maybe fit 50 people, but we packed the place, a bunch of friends came out, everyone was singing along, and I remember thinking, ‘man, this is pretty great’. So, from that point on, I was hooked.” After graduating from UGA, Cool made the move to music city and began to cut his teeth in clubs around town. He would go to different writer’s nights and networking events to learn how Nashville worked and began to gather a framework for how to ‘make it’ in the music industry. “When I moved to town, it seemed like there were two paths you could take as an artist. One was going after a record deal and the other was to try and build a grassroots following, start small, and hope that it grows organically. For me, the latter just seemed more appealing.” Having set his course, Cool began to immerse himself in all aspects of running a business and he figured out pretty quickly you need cash coming in if you want to stay afloat. One revenue stream he tapped into was the private event space, which helped pay the bills, and afforded him the opportunity to hone his craft as a songwriter. By 2014 he had a group of demos that would become his debut release, Light in the Dark . The album, which was nominated for best independent country album of the year, ironically kicked off a season Cool would describe as long, dark, and cold. “My wife and I found out we were pregnant with our second son the year after Light in the Dark came out. After he was born, our ship started going down. Financially, emotionally, all the way around really, we weren’t doing well. I started struggling with anxiety and depression and it was a rough stretch, for sure.” But as with so many artists before him, the ashes and turmoil of personal setbacks seem to plant the seeds that for which can only blossom through pain and heartache. The next few years were spent playing shows and compiling another group of songs to record. At the end of February 2020, Cool and his producer Adam Haynes (bluegrass fiddler for The Grascals, Dailey & Vincent, and others) tracked 13 songs over the course of two days. Two weeks later, the world would shut down and a two-year journey would commence to release into the world what would finally become, Family Time. As with many during the pandemic, there’s a story in and of itself to be told of the trials and unexpected circumstances Cool had to overcome just to eke out a living. To make ends-meat during the shutdown, he worked as a janitor, radon inspector, and flooring salesman. This, adding to his repertoire of other jobs held early on as a used car salesman, warehouse attendant, and insurance claims analyst. But, as things started opening up again, work on the album resumed, shows started playing again, and a release date was finally set. On Family Time , Cool shares musical snapshots of small and large moments that define family life and captures intimately the grooves and creases, the craziness and the humor, the regrets, and the celebrations of living together in songs that resonate so deeply we feel as if he’s written them just for us. The album opens with the country folk ballad “American Dream,” which rides in on a lilting, unspooling dobro run that spirals into a melodic spaciousness that wends its way into your heart. The song echoes John Prine’s “Paradise” and fills the soul with the same emotional fervor. “‘American Dream’ started with the melody,” Cool recalls. “I was playing around on the guitar, and it just felt like it was supposed to be this patriotic kind of thing. Then a few days later, sitting down to write, the opening line, came out naturally and the story began. To me, this song captures the essence of the American Dream. It’s ultimately not about fortune or fame but the freedom to choose your own path and live it out.” The bright country rambler, “Waffle House”, follows and rollicks with a high-stepping rhythm that floats along dazzling pedal steel runs and a shrewdly told story about the ways we often return to our roots even after we’ve left them behind. The song began when Cool heard about golfer, Bubba Watson, celebrating his victory at the Master’s with a trip to the local Waffle House. “I thought the idea of winning a prestigious tournament and then celebrating at a downhome breakfast diner was pretty great. It was super endearing and relatable. Growing up in Georgia, we ate at Waffle House all of the time too, so it became a story of a guy ‘hitting the bigtime’ but not forgetting where he came from,” says Cool. Shimmering guitars cascade over glittering dobro runs in the stirring country anthem “Waves of Grain,” which echoes Garth Brooks’ and George Strait’s songs for everyman and everywoman. Cool’s evocative vocals etch the lines of healing into a landscape often divided by various conflicts. “If ever there was a song I felt divinely inspired to write, it would be ‘Waves of Grain’,” Cool reflects. “It came from what I would describe as a vision of a wheat field being an analogy for all people. The opening verse, ‘there’s a farm out in a valley, with its amber waves of grain, and in a wild way it reminds me we are one and one and the same’ is essentially what I saw. And with everything that’s happened over the last couple of years, I hope this song might offer some healing, encouragement, and remind us that love can bind us together in spite of the things that pull us apart.” Spare guitar fingerpicking opens the Willie Nelson-like “Crazy,” an earnest story about the craziness that lives in the shadows in all families and that comes to light when we least expect it. The slowly unfolding ballad—like a slow dance at a wedding—reveals a tongue-in-cheek surprise ending that reminds us of the power of love in the face of all odds—even crazy families. “My Love,” a nod-and-a-wink to love songs everywhere, is an exuberant dance song fueled by fiddle and dobro runs skittering around guitar strums and Cool’s celebratory vocals. The heart-rending “Stella” opens sparsely with Cool’s tender vocals before circling higher and higher into a steel-drenched guitar ballad about facing the challenges of life in sometimes difficult circumstances. “I wrote it for our good friends’ daughter who was going through a hard time. I wanted her to know that even though things weren’t great, her parents loved her no matter what and, ultimately, it was going to be okay,”. “Join the Party” begins as a slow gospel-inflected tune that opens up into a joyous dobro-filled celebration of life, family, and friends, while “Perry Street Blues” rides high on an Alan Jackson-like country honkytonk vibe, floating along a river of keys and piercing lead runs and transporting vocals. The rollicking “You in Mind” motors along with a jangly country rock sound, with tinges of Bruce Springsteen and Brad Paisley-like psychedelic lead guitar runs thrown in for good measure, celebrating the depth of love a man feels for a woman. Family Time closes with “Battle of the Lion King” which marches in on rolling snare drums, roaring across the plains, mimicking the sound of a group marching into battle, and builds with blustery guitars swirling around the drumbeat like clouds of dust. Echoing the allegorical tail of Don McClean’s “American Pie,” Cool’s song plays off his imaginative vision of the world around us and leaves you with the sense that, in a tail often seen on the silver screen, there’s more than meets the eye. In the end, it’s clear that Bobby Cool revels in telling a good story as much as he does trying to live one out. He sings songs that reach us wherever we find ourselves in our lives, touching us, healing us, and embracing us with music that fills our hearts and reminds us that life’s most important events happen on family time.
