The Slammin Band
R&B/Soul • New Haven, CT
Rated the hottest and most cutting edge recording, dance band on the East Coast and recently returning from an Eastern European tour, Slammin’ Band continues to generate a rapidly growing fan base and defines professionalism. Opening for headliners; Chaka Khan, Macy Gray, Wilson Pickett, WAR, Ray, Goodman & Brown to name a few and an annual performance at Times Square NYC for the New Year's Celebration. Our experience extends into the Casino arena, as we perform regularly at Mohegan Sun & Foxwoods easily explaining TSB's caliber. Combining sharply written original songs with the best covers from past and present, Slammin’ Band is able to grab the crowd's attention and keep them on the dance floor. Genres include R&B, Funk, Jazz, Top 40, Reggae, Pop, Motown, Rock, Fusion, Latin and Neo Soul. Their eclectic, feel-good sound and tunes to which people of all ages and musical tastes can relate, aptly names "Slammin' Band", as they deliver rhythm and blues and show stopping performances in a way most unique and entertaining. Lead vocalist, Ricky Alan Draughn continues to perfect his distinctive blend of jazz, gospel and R&B with a fan-focused style that spans the arenas of recorded and live performance. His debut album, which released locally to critical acclaim, will be followed this year with a paramount solo project entitled "What About Me". If you have not had the pleasure of hearing this fantastic band, make sure you catch them soon.
