    Ike Stubblefield

    Hammond B3 virtuoso Ike Stubblefield is a music industry legend. With almost 50 years in the business, you may think he’s seen and done it all, but he’s just getting started.

    He cut his teeth backing Motown legends like the Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves, Stevie Wonder and Rare Earth. He lent his soulful R&B style to Al Green, Ike & Tina Turner, Curtis Mayfield, B.B. King, The Pointer Sisters and George Benson, and helped create the classic B3 sound that others would imitate for generations to come. In 2010, he collaborated with Grammy-winning Atlanta soul man Cee Lo Green, recording organ and keyboards on 9 tracks.

    These days, the B3 icon and mini-Moog master stays busy jamming with Papa Mali in New Orleans, rocking with Big Hat in Nashville and producing out of his Atlanta studio. Drawing from his recent time with the Derek Trucks Band and years on the road as a musician-for-hire, Stubblefield is finding his true passion collaborating with old friends and bringing the loose ends of an illustrious career together on his new project, The Ike Stubblefield Trio.

    “I’m combining all elements of my 46 years of playing,†said Stubblefield. “My style’s kind of all over the place so it’s not a jam band, or jazz or funk necessarily, but it has all those elements.â€

    Stubblefield’s craft and ingenuity on the keys landed him a plethora of jobs within the music field. Always busy with a new project, his career twists and turns have involved writing and scoring music for commercials, TV shows and film; founding clubs in Vancouver, Toledo and Atlanta; and performing as one of the world’s premier organ players.

    “The B3 organ at the hands of a player like Ike Stubblefield becomes a force of nature,†one reviewer wrote following his headlining of the 2011 Savannah Music Festival.

    A fixture of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in the early 1970s, Stubblefield broadened his sound to fit the rock stylings of Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, Rod Stewart and Boz Scaggs. His reputation as a musician’s musician ensured his spot at the top of industry insiders’ lists of the most sought-after supporting band mates.

    After traveling the world as a performing artist, Stubblefield took to the studio in 1976, producing, composing and writing songs with the likes of Phil Spector and Quincy Jones. Other world-famous collaborators would include Jim Capaldi of Traffic and singer-songwriter/guitarist Larry Lee.

    Following 13 years of studio work through the 80s, Stubblefield spent much of the 90s performing in jazz clubs across the Pacific Northwest like Vancouver’s The Purple Onion and Seattle’s Jazz Alley with his band Is Not Was. After relocating to Atlanta in 2001, he Packed folks in at The Roxy, Variety Playhouse and The Dogwood Festival.

    After 10 years of fighting with Cancer , Ike's back up and running stronger than ever..kicking off 2012 with a new CD, featuring 5, new 2012 Grammy winners performing on it, and he himself performing on 29 Cd's last year CeeLo, Jimmy Herring and most recent Ruthie Foster"s "Let It Burn" to name a few...

    But no matter the job, Stubblefield continues to earn accolades from his peers and critics alike.

    Ike Stubblefied is more than just a performer, he’s an artist in the true sense of the word, and whether writing, producing or composing, he is always working to perfect his art.

    DRUMHAND http://www.reverbnation.com/show/9297529

    Propelled by a steamroller of percussion and energized by jazz horns, Torontoʼs DRUMHAND draws inspiration from the danceable circuitous rhythms of hot climates from Bahia, Brazil to Ghana, West Africa and from India to New Orleans. The group is becoming increasingly known for innovative orchestrations; uplifting and accessible artistry for audiences of all ages. Their unique and energized inclusiveness can be experienced in concert at festivals; schools performances; music venues; street parties and nightclubs.

    DRUMHANDʼs original compositions make use of a diversity of instruments such as the one-stringed ʻStomach Harpʼ and the box-shaped Gome foot drum. The groupʼs danceable and compelling beats are imbued with memorable melodies offered by the

    Atenteban flute, saxophones, brass and vocal work in a variety of languages. In 2012, the DRUMHAND ensemble toured much of Eastern Canada and released their second album,The Travelling Scheme. Recent performances include: DEEP ROOTS(Wolfville, NS); The World Damba Festival at Tufts University (MA, USA); the Blue Skies Music Festival (ON); Sudburyʼs Northern Lights Festival (ON); the Ottawa International Jazz Festival; The Small World Music Festival (Toronto); Mundial Montréal and extensive tours throughout Québec and the Maritimes.Founded by percussionists David Chan, Larry Graves (Mr. Something Something) and Steve Mancuso in 2008, DRUMHAND features the horn work of Marcus Ali (Cruzao/Jason Wilson) and Rebecca Hennessy (Woodshed Orchestra, Hobsonʼs Choice). DRUMHAND.ca

    "The Travelling Scheme isn't merely marching music for carnal, lascivious festivities, nor is it intended for passive admiration. Although brimming with joy, it has nobler intentions... it's multicultural, Zen-like orchestration makes you wish that people's international ideologies could blend as seamlessly and harmoniously as musical cultures do, when in the right hands."

    - Nereida Fernandes, Exclaim! Magazine (Sep 19, 2012)

    “Des trompettes de Jazz et des percussions dans un feu roulant d’énergie: un mélange idéal pour les amateurs de danse! DRUMHAND, groupe de Toronto, s’inspire de musiques venant de partout et utilise des instruments issus de nombreuses traditions à travers le globe.â€

    - Ottawa Jazz Festival (Juin 2011)

    The Altobeelays:

    Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, The Altobeelays are a live music experience, fusing elements of funk, rock n' roll, pop, and jazz for a sound as unique as the city they hail from.

    The band met while studying music at Mohawk College and originally formed as an instrumental group in 2009. In early 2011, Tiffany Ormerod hopped on the microphone and "The Beelays" as you know them today were formed.

    With Scott McIntosh on guitar, Jordan Snider on drums, Tom Altobelli on bass, Chris Bruder on the keys, and a plethora of awesome guest stars, the Altobeelays' dynamic live performance, catchy melodies, and hard-hitting groove render them a force to be reckoned with.
