Distilled Butter, College Park, GA
Distilled Butter hit the scene in August of 2014. Their onstage presence is electric and demands attention and their music menu of Old School R&B and contemporary Jazz sizzles with energy. The connection between band members is apparent as they play. Their sounds blend together like hot pie and ice-cream and as soon as you hear that first note you know that you're in for a treat! In the short time they've been together they have played in several venues around the city.
Lead singer, Earl Harris, brings humor and jubilance to the stage. He's got the aura of a comic as he commands the attention of the crowd but you quickly forget the comedian once he starts to sing. Seldom will you hear such a powerful voice from someone so elegant and smooth. His song selection: Never too Much, Turn Your Love Around, I'll be Around, and Donny Hathaway's A Song For You, takes you back in time. Then he whisks you right back to now with John Legend's All of Me.
The newest addition, vocalist Bose Ajaka, sings like a nightingale bringing swag, showmanship and attitude to the stage. She rocks you with songs like Ain't Nobody, Golden and Got to be Real, then slows it down with Caught Up in the Rapture and Rihanna's Diamonds. Bose is a perfect compliment to the band as she adds a forth voice to the already solid background vocals. Her Jazz and Classical training allow her to excel in any venue and her vocal control is captivating. She is truly a delight.
Now the show is complete. You're satisfied and think you've heard it all until this guy (Richard Brown) steps to the mic with a Flute. The array of notes he produces will captivate you all over again. From Spain to Another Star, Richard's delightful sound dances across the stage and into your heart. His no hold back approach to soloing is guaranteed to take you on a natural high.
These three artists have truly been blessed. They're a must see and once you've seen them you'll be back again and again.
Distilled Butter, Your New Band for 2017
