Rn’B, SOUL JAZZ, BLUES, NEW ORLEANS

Over the years word of a Tonemaster gig has become synonymous with a "Get down, foot stompin', good time party". Their mix of Rn’B, Soul Jazz, Blues and New Orleans music has been a favorite among tri-state audiences since 1994. Finding a stylistic niche not often heard on the local blues circuit, they mix these styles effortlessly.

Their show is a pure unadulterated PARTY paying homage to the style of the masters, from T-Bone Walker and Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson to BB King, Count Basie and Booker T… all the while creating music that is unmistakably their own. This eclectic mix results in a very uplifting experience for the music lovers in the crowd, while sending listeners new to the genres off to search this music out.

The core lineup includes guitarist Ronnie Rauso, not often seen without his big fat archtop, Dave Post, always accompanied by his upright bass, and Bobby “Blues” Marchie holdin’ down the beat. The fellas always take the stage with a lineup that includes the top players in the area, which adds to the party on stage.

If you enjoy stompin' your feet, swing dancing or just a good ole' down home blues party, you won't want to miss The Tonemasters!
