"This was absolutely the hands down BEST music performers that Summit has had. The growing crowd when these guys were playing tells the story! What a group of professionals. Every song a winner. And the lead guitar was phenomenal - not to leave out the drummer and bass player as great too. PLEASE have them back again."
"We really are so very happy to have you perform for us. You bring such incredible life to our streets!"

North Jersey Blues Society Blues & Brews: BBD Rhythm & Blues Band
On a cold February Jersey day the BBD Rhythm and Blues band served up a smoking hot show at the Montclair Brewery for the North Jersey Blues Society Blues & Brews series. Their rocking blues style had the house packed up, moving and grooving. The ultra-tight band consists of James" JB" Barnes on bass, Tommy" Earthquake" Doud on drums, and "Bluesman" Chris Mongielo on lead guitar who blistered through some well-known covers as well as some killer originals from their current CD release "JB's Favorite Things". "Harpdawg" Tony Sky joins the party for a few songs. The room was jumping and the show went a little into OT as the crowd cheered on. These bluesmen, who sometimes play rock and roll, seemed to be on a mission! Creating a fantastic afternoon of of epic rockin blues. Thanks guys, mission to accomplished!
