ABOUT
Blue River Soul
Some years back Richard helped organize the Blue River Soul Band with his colleagues. Karen Meeks is a beautiful soulful singer and talented personable entertainer. She loves to engage with audiences and help them feel the love. Ted Di Cola is seriously proficient on alto and tenor saxophones. But he doesn't stop there, he also plays flute and clarinet to add those special musical touches to those classic songs we all love. Chris Minnich is the band's right-on-the-beat drummer, and he keeps the band in the groove and also ads vocal harmonies for that cool blend sound we all love to hear. We are frequently joined by Andy Seal on the electric and acoustic basses. Andy has an exceptional ear and his artistic style keeps the room feeling the beat and enjoying the party. Rich Findlay is the second lead vocal as he adds rhythmic and lead keyboard blends to mix. Rich loves to add in horns, flute, guitar, oboes, saxes.... you name it... to keep the sound fresh and entertaining. He also holds down those piano and organ textures that audiences love to hear. All together, the musicians of Blue River Soul create a unique blend of musicality that keeps the party exceptionally fun. The band is commonly asked: "Where are you playing next???....We've got to come and see you again!"
