Session 23: The Contact Collective Session
The Sunday Sessions Project is happy to welcome the newest sensation from the Poconos- The Contact Collective
With good karma and diverse musical backgrounds this band is making exciting Rock-Fusion. Gregg, Aaron and Nick were playing music together in fellowship at their church and realized they had something special so they expanded into The Contact Collective. Their music is tough to pin down. Each member comes from a different musical past and sensibility. TSSP talked to two of the founding members -Nick and Gregg. Their excitement is contagious. Both men spoke of the band as a collaboration drawing from rock, dance, reggae, blues, church, alt-rock and even metal. You can hear echoes of “the Roots” in their arrangements,
They are hoping to draw an international audience to their sound and are working on a new album. They are writing new material that “depends on the creatives sparks” that come from a multi-genre core in their community. The heart of the music “is their engine”. The writing isn’t premeditated but rather organic and taken from life and then edited.
With the stunning lead vocalist Elonda Vibez fronting the band, Gregg Hedrington on the keys bringing the groove, Johnny Valinote on the bass with his unique foundation in classical and jazz, Jonathan Lindsay who has been playing drums since his first breath, Aaron Dixon on
rhythm guitar and vocals and lead guitarist Nicholas DeSouza who started playing the guitar on his grandfather’s front porch this band delivers a unique genuine sound. They are a true collective that together is stronger than each member’s strengths or weaknesses. They like to say that “none of this would be possible without all of these incredible killer musicians”.
