Barrence Whitfield is a full-throttle soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke. He has been described as the owner of one incredible pair of lungs, with limitless energy and unmatched enthusiasm for his music and his audience. Barrence is a rarity in this business–one of a few black, rock n roll singer/entertainers who Spin Magazine says maintains a frenzied performance.
Whitfield is a performer so consumed with satisfying his audiences that he has been called ‘crazed, frenetic and completely unhinged.’ Barrence, the singer made up of equal parts Arthur Alexander, Nolan Porter and James Carr this mofo burns.’
After college, Barrence, like many organic music lovers, found himself working in a Kenmore Square record shop called Nuggets. There, he was discovered by guitarist Peter Greenberg, of the legendary Boston bands DMZ and The Lyres. Through this introduction, Barrence got his first taste of the rock ‘n roll life and Boston’s music scene. Boston reciprocated in kind with 7 Boston Music Awards.

★ HIPBONE SLIM & THE KNEE TREMBLERS ★
http://www.voodoorhythm.com/hipboneslim.htm
What can we say about this band? Other than it features three of Britain's most prominent and talented rock 'n' roll musicians, whose individual musical histories take in the best British garage, surf, trash, punk and beat bands of the last 20 years.
The band is led by Sir Bald Diddley aka Hipbone Slim aka The Bald Bomber, who has been a leading world force in the field of surf and rock 'n' roll instrumentals for a decade or more. Currently, he also fronts an array of wierd and wonderful combos including 'The Snags' , ‘The Nine Ton Peanut Smugglers’, ‘Louie and the Louies’, ' Sir Bald & His Wig-Outs' and ‘The Legs’ (with Jorge and Mr. Peeblee - both Dr. Explosion - Spain).
On bull fiddle is John 'Lard' Gibbs , who was the original bass player in Scottish beat kings, the Kaisers and now plays 4 strings for those magnificent (also) Scottish din-makers 'The Wildebeests' and the fabulous ‘Masonics’ with ex Milkshakes Mickey Hampshire and of course Bruce 'Bash' Brand. He has also played both guitar and double bass for Holly Golightly
The near legendary 'Bash' Brand plays drums! Bash has been around for more years and graced more beat combos than he probably cares to remember. He has walloped skins for thee Milkshakes, Headcoats, Mighty Caesars, Holly Golightly, Masonics and various others, including the Link Wray no less! He also played/plays guitar with The Pop Rivets, The Adventures of Parsely, Dutronc and the Clique. Bruce has made more records than you've had hot dinners!
WHAT A BILL!!!
