Kantirocks performed to a packed house at Chrome Horse

Kantirocks performed to a packed house last night at Chrome Horse

s

Already a full lounge at Chrome Horse Saloon, the onslaught of rain drove patrons waiting for the outdoor performance back inside to make it a packed house for Kantirocks on July 23, 2010. They started their performance ten minutes early to let the good times roll.

Kantirocks is an energetic band with a good beat.  They play to and engage with the crowd to make it upfront, personal, and fun.   Nikki (vocals/keyboard) belts out 80’s to current rock tunes with her rich, powerful voice. She says they “keep it clean” by changing out any off-color words, so their music is always family friendly.

Band members, in addition to Nikki D., include: Mike Davidson, guitar; Rick Clay, guitar, Larry Scott, drums, and John Baughman, guitar.  See them next (after RAGBRAI!!) at Cedar River Landing at 9:00 pm on August 7, 2010, 301 F Avenue, NW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52405.

For Kantirocks bookings, call 319-431-3717.

Flock of Funk performed before a packed house last night outside at the Chrome Horse Saloon.  The weather cooperated for a pleasant evening and as the sun went down, the dancing picked up.  People were moving and grooving as Billy Davis worked the crowd and had everyone on their feet.  It was hard to tell who was having more fun…. the crowd, or Billy.

The band members have years of performance to draw from and it shows.  They are professionals who feel at ease on stage with their instruments, and are in sync with each other and the audience.  Members of the band are:

Billy Davis (the front man) – sax and vocals

Dennis McMurrin – guitar and vocals

Bruce Chadima (The Governor of Funk) – drums and vocals

Denny Ketelson on Hammond B3, synthesizer, and vocals

Tim Razor – bass and vocals

Flock of Funk plays all types of music, with Motown and Rhythm & Blues being its forte. Although they primarily play for private parties and corporate events, they sometimes perform for the public.

You can find them on Facebook: Flock of Funk – The Ultimate Party Band. For bookings, contact Bruce (Gov) at 319-360-6449, or Billy at 319-364-4066.

Flock of Funk will be back at the Chrome Horse Saloon, 1202 3rd St. SE, on July 31.
