John Boerstler -Guitar Recipient of the 1994 Columbus Music Awards Best Guitarist Award, John's soulful and satisfying blues are his trademark. Having played with Artimis Pyle (Lynyrd Skynyrd), The DeMarco Brothers and currently a member of the popular Men of Leisure, John is widely considered one of the foremost blues guitarists in the region. Jeff Ciampa -Bass Guitar Best known as the founding member of the 80's, early 90's hugely popular Zero One and the current pop genius behind Vinyl, Jeff's expertise is exemplified by his phenomenal creativity and execution. An experienced producer and businessman, Jeff's musical savvy is instrumental to HooDoo Soul's direction, cohesiveness and intensity. Mark Greenwood -Trombone Session musician for The Temptations, The Drifters and The Guy Lombardo Band amongst others, Mark's exhilarating performances illustrate his musical depth and maturity. Compared by many to Robert Pankow of Chicago, Mark's dynamics and skill exemplify the high standards of HooDoo Soul. Mark Henderson -Percussion An accomplished artist with a diversity of styles, Mark's powerful rhythm and soul has enhanced such acts as Sam & Dave, The Alligators and T.C. & The Cats. In addition to HooDoo Soul, Mark's talents are currently being highlighted in the Latin Jazz Ensemble Yumbambe, with Coast to Coast featuring Celeste Friedman, and in the eclectic jazz quartet Night Flight. Tony McClung -Drums/Percussion Renowned for his impeccable timing, dynamic soloing style and his solid heavy hitting funk grooves, Tony provides the backdrop for HooDoo Soul. Additionally a member of the Paul Brown Science Gravy Orchestra, The Donna Magavro Band and the critically acclaimed Vinyl, Tony's professionalism and creativity reflect his musical genius and passion. Kevin Oliver -Guitar Possibly the most prolific of the HooDoo musicians, Kevin's resume is distinguished by anyone's standards. George Clinton and the P. Funk Allstars, Bo Diddley, Bootsie Collins and Mojazz Artist Foley are but a few of the major artists Kevin has had the pleasure of working with. A skilled vocalist as well as the consummate guitar player and session musician, Kevin is currently leading his talents to several different projects including Vinyl, Island Breeze and the occasional McDonald's commercial. Bobby Stewart -Lead Vocals Front man and the vocalist extraordinaire for HooDoo Soul is the incomparable Bobby Stewart. His seductive soul laden stylings and charismatic stage presence are indicative of his experience and natural talent. Having performed alongside such artists as Bobby Womack and Bill Withers, Bobby is equally adept at electrifying an audience with an explosive soul classic as he is at enticing them with a silky smooth ballad.
