One of
Relix Magazine’s “
On The Verge” picks, THE GET RIGHT
BAND is “hip-shaking, earthquaking pure funk fun” (
The Alternate Root). Combining catchy, clever songwriting with musical expertise and fearless improvisation, the live show promises to make you shake everything you’ve got. From funk to rock n’ roll to reggae, this is a dance party.
Relix called the band “an ass shaking good time” and
Martin Anderson of
WNCW radio comments that “The Get Right Band is one of those acts that make
Asheville’s music scene so vibrant and exciting. They lay down some very cool grooves.”
The band is built on the musical brotherhood that guitarist/vocalist
Silas Durocher and bassist
Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school. Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, possesses guitar chops that can soothe or rage and a charismatic swagger as a frontman and a singer. “Durocher has an impressive range and rich clarity to his vocals—think a more soulful
Dan Auerbach,” writes
Connect Savannah. Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (
The Mountain Xpress). With the addition of Jian-Claude Mears, a powerful and dynamic drummer, the group’s sound has become an unstoppable force.
The Get Right Band has been wowing audiences around the country and the
Caribbean since their inception in
2011 with an unparalleled live show and a relentless tour schedule, playing such legendary festivals and venues as FloydFest (
Floyd, VA),
Music City Roots TV Show (
Nashville, TN), Music City Brewers Fest (Nashville, TN), All
Go West Fest (
Asheville, NC),
Steppin’ Out (
Blacksburg, VA), The
8x10 (
Baltimore, MD),
The Orange Peel (Asheville, NC), The Pour
House (
Charleston, SC),
The Green Parrot (
Key West, FL),
Ziggy's (
Winston-Salem), Skipper’s Smokehouse (
Tampa, FL), LiveWire (
Savannah, GA),
The Beach Bar (
St. John,
US Virgin Islands), and many more. The band has rocked hard and jammed relentlessly every step of the way.
The band released their hotly anticipated new album, Bass Treble Angel Devil, on
September 12, 2014. The hour-long juggernaut of high-energy tunes, bold and witty lyrics, and adventurous production approach has listeners singing along and shaking their booties from track one. The album is gaining traction on college and independent radio stations nationwide and is being lauded for its “infectious, danceable blend of funk, rock, reggae and just plain unique sounds” (
Augusta Chronicle).
The Get Right Band’s debut CD,
Shake, was released in
February, 2013.
Hittin’
The Note Magazine says the disc is “fun, full of energy and excitement, and should be listened to with the volume turned all the way up.” The rock n’ roll album features stripped down but creatively layered and produced performances of the band’s original tunes.
It’s “groove with rock melodies built on funk attitudes,” says The Mountain Xpress. From the seductive blues of “
Voodoo Doll” to the dance party vibe of “Chromaticize” to the Caribbean influenced “
Touch The
Holy,” (inspired by the band’s Caribbean tours) Shake’s “impressive stylistic range manages to all fit within the band’s distinctive image” (
WNC Magazine). The
Grateful Web writes that the disc is a “tasty mix of hip-swinging selections that leaves the listener thirsty for more.”
The members of The Get Right Band have played with many of the
East Coast’s greatest acts, including
Laura Reed and
Deep Pocket,
Woody Wood,
Josh Phillips, The
Artimus Pyle Band, Scrappy
Hamilton (now
Truth &
Salvage Company), Afromotive, and
Royal Trux (
Virgin Records), and have shared the stage with national acts such as
Galactic,
Victor Wooten Band,
Mike Dillon Band,
Jeff Sipe Trio,
Yo Mama’s
Big Fat
Booty Band,
Jeff Coffin’s
Mutet,
