SEPTEMBER 22 ~ TERRY SIMS BAND

The enduring success of The Terry Sims Band is one of the great stories of Milwaukee music. During the past few years, they have forged a sound as a local phenomenon on their own terms. The band formed in 2002, now celebrates positive vibes and undiluted jazz funk in 2011. During these times, keyboardist, composer and arranger Terry Sims has been the aural architect of the band. After a brief foray into R&B within the local scene, many of the core of the band arrived from separate paths. James Dallas joined the team as a writer/successfully recording 3 solo cd's. Kenny Garrett/Bass also joined as a writer and a sponsored bassist, with drummer Olen Franklin and Mike DeRose/guitar, bringing similar independent styles helping to develop a sound that is unique in the level of originality & quality. Playing modern, infectious grooves fringed with Latin, funk, smooth jazz and jazz, buoyed by traces of R&B, rock and top 40, the members of the band are inspired by this hybrid of R&B and jazz.
