This band merges diverse musical styles of old school psychedelia, jazz, bluegrass, funk, trance, dance and rock 'n' roll. The Blue Method make tasteful, organic, and soulful rhythm and blues. The grooves are sensuous, Brian Williams' vocals are heartfelt, and even the lyrics seem to work nicely within the confines of the genre. Williams' trumpet and Tom Long's saxophones and clarinet give the band a muscular, assured sound, while Luke O'Riley and Scott Stallones' keyboards give the band a double bed to lay their music atop. Monacy is a Pennsylvania-based funk/rock quintet. Bodega blends elements of funk, philly soul, jazz, breakbeat, and afrobeat to make their infectious grooves.
