Lady Sunshine and the X Band

  • LIVE 102 South 1st Street Ann Arbor, MI, 48104 United States (map)

Lady Sunshine was born to sing the blues. Born on a plantation near the Mississippi Delta in West Helena Arkansas, Lady Sunshine grew up singing gospel music as a little girl and is definitely the 'real deal'! Sunshine is the consumate entertainer and that deep soulful southern hunger that drives her is apparent both on and off the stage through her heartfelt originals and down-to-earth demeanor. She moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1975 and began performing professionally in genres such as Blues, R&B, Gospel, Soul & Jazz. Although Sunshine lives in the heartland of the University of Michigan Wolverines, the chants of 'Let's Go Blue' take on a whole different meaning for her.

The Rhythm Section, includes ('Slick') Rick Humesky on guitar,Antonio"The Groove Boy'Jacobs" on drums, Matt Macchiarolo on bass. They're a rock steady groove machine with such a deep pocket that no matter what style you ask for, be it Blues, Funk, R&B, Soul, Rock,or Jazz you'll get a groove that is authentic, precise and pumpin'.

The 'Xsatiable Horns' are Patricio Padilla, David Maki II, and Ken Jay "smooth" youngThese cats are powerful, air-tight, horn phenoms, accustomed to playing as a compact and symbiotic unit in addition to being virtuostic soloists in their own right. Their 'Phat' sound has been described as a fusion of the Memphis Horns, James Brown Horns, and Tower of Power Horns rolled into one unique and Xsatiable package.
