To bring their debut CD release, Evolution Of A Soul, to completion and fruition, The Deacons employed elements of each of these styles of music. The collective charm of the individual musicians’ personal and musical experiences came together in perfect balance to create this music. The sound is fresh but familiar, new but relaxed and comfortable.
The music of The Deacons begins it’s journey with the funky punch and rhythms of a sophisticated bass. The path the music takes is then well-illuminated by golden riffs of inspired guitar. Smooth jazz boards join together with rock solid and articulate drums and percussion to complete a rhythm section ready to roll.
These pieces then dance together to escort the sweet and thoughtful vocals that narrate the stsories needing to be told. Hip and polished horns add sparkle and sheen to the music.
The Deacons bring magic to the musical experience. With their combination of contemporary jazz, adult contemporary and blues influences their music speak to the hearts of music lovers everywhere. This Ohio based group is not your average band. The Deacons take listeners on a journey that is deeply satisfing and musically rewarding.
