SONNYBOY
At the L.E.S. End of Summer Jam - NYC
(8/26/06)
Very talented vocalist/guitarist Sheldon Riser!!!!!
This
was Sonnyboy's last NYC performance before embarking on a European tour in
support of the new album "Psycho-Delic-Ghetto-Vibe". At 5:00pm,
Sonnyboy performed a 30-minute set starting with the funky "It Don't
Matter", featuring great vocals and nasty lead guitarisms by the
super-talented one...who am I talkin about...none other
than............MR. SHELDON RISER!!! Keyboardist Joe provided some standout
organ riffs here. "Josephine Brown" was a great midtempo song, while
"Leavin'" rocked harder than the album version (especially since it
is a ballad) as the band went into jam mode with strong bass thumpin' by
Buster, funky rhythm guitar romping by Sheldon, and powerful drum blasting by
Mr. Double D himself, Dave Dawson! Buster started the next song with some
gutbucket raw funk bass....it was "Boogie on Reggae Woman"...the funk
bass persisted with the festive synthesizer riffs. The guys were seriously
jamming on this Stevie Wonder original for a few minutes. SHELDON, WHERE DID
YOU GET YO FUNK FROM??!!!! It was over too soon at 5:30pm.
