ALL Skate – An Invitation I’m Glad I Accepted

I am always excited when a band/musician ask me to capture their upcoming performance. This invitation was my first connecting via email. I was out of town but we arranged a phone call and the date was set. What a blessing to my ears this was. All Skate is composed of:

Shariffa Nyan – Vocalist
Larry Ware – Vocalist
Dan Andersen – Guitarist
Erdinç Gunduz – Guitarist (out that day)
Hamilton Nabors – Bassist, Vocalist
Bruce Popsky – Drummer, Vocalist, Composer

On their website ALL Skate describes their music as follows:

Mixing reggae, samba and northeastern Brazilian rhythms with American soul and funk, the All Skate rhythm section generates a fat groove that backs two gifted and powerful lead vocalists. Harmonies flow throughout All Skate’s show, and the band’s catalog of original songs and covers range from bossa nova and reggae to deep funk to energized pop.

I was excited. They did not disappoint. Their music inspired a new chapter, “The Sound of Excellence” in my upcoming book. I will be hearing them again. I highly recommend that you too attend their performances. ALL Skate will be doing their thing.
