Russell "Hitman" Alexander is a veteran New York blues player. He has performed at clubs and venues ranging from after-hours dives in the Alphabet City section of Manhatten (back when even the police wouldn't get out of the squad cars) and late night bars in Harlem, to the Royal Ball for the Prince of Malta and the Quadcentennial Ball for the Prince of Spain. Hitman says "Over the last twenty five years, I’ve been fortunate to have played with great musicians, in great venues, and with fantastic acts". This includes Johnny Copeland, Lavette Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, The Coasters, The Ink Spots, and Whitney Houston. |

Mike Porter has played in numerous groups, ranging from Greatful Dead tributes bands to esoteric funk. Aside from his impressive abilities on bass, he also handles vocals and, when needed, acoustic guitar. |
Kevin has been performing for over 25 years, and is one of the earliest players to take full advantage of the electronic revolution that brought in synthesis. During that time, he still remained deeply involved in the traditional Hammond sound, playing on B-2 and B-3 organs in clubs and concerts all along the east coast. |
Ed "The Hat" has been a New York fixture for over 30 years, playing with a huge number of local artists. He "cut his teeth" with Little Buster & The Soul Brothers, learning how to become a consummate dance drummer in the R&B/funk/blues style that he has mastered. He's also spent over 20 years playing with the Massapequa Full Gospel Tabernacle (Gospel Television), touring with them when required. He toured Europe with Larry Burton and Tony Llorens (Albert King Band), and locally has been the mainstay of literally hundreds of jam sessions hosted by Long Island's "King of Jams", Jim Moran. |
