Earl Thomas & The KoR Band
Sunday, 30 March 2008

Guitarist Seth Blumberg, bassist Armando Cepeda, keyboardist Leo Dombecki, sax player Ryan Montana, and drummer Bill Ray are the Kings of Rhythm. The band played with Turner on Risin’ with the Blues, which won the Best Traditional Blues album at last year’s Grammys.

Earl Thomas was a kid living in Guam where his Dad was stationed in the Navy, when he went into a soda fountain. There, the juke box was playing Honkey Tonk Woman, performed by Ike and Tina Turner. There was something about the sound of that tune that got him thinking about making music. A year later he said to his Dad, "When I grow up, I'm going to be a singer in a band."

Since then there have been many twists and turns in Earl's life. But today he is a singer in a band. He specializes in blues and gospel and he's made eleven CDs. His latest is called Soul Shine and is soon to be released.

At Ike's Funeral

Thanks for stopping in! Chances are you were looking for something pretty specific and found your way here. Maybe you searched Google for the following phrases- Blues Drummer,Rock Drummer,Funk Drummer, or Ike Turner Drummer; Google seems to like me in that respect. :)

There's lots of stuff rolling in my life at the moment and I am excited to share with you the daily goings-on in the life of a musician! So keep checking in. There will always be some kind of video, audio, ranting & raving to keep up with.

I am constantly adding to this page so please, check back! I'm very active on the internet as of lately and I am interested in sharing what knowledge I can to help someone along.

On the Delancey gig, 3/26/08

I have been fortunate to see the world through the powers of music. Everywhere I've been, it's because Music took me there.

Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Taiwan, Spain, France, Switzerland, Japan, England, Corsica, Monaco, Finland, The Netherlands, Africa, Canary Islands, China, Austria, Alaska, Canada, The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Hawaii, 38 States, and a few places I can't remember.

It's my wish to make my website an educational place. I hope you get something from it.

What happens when half of the Ike Turner band get together to let their ya-yas out?

The result is a smoldering display of seamless musicianship that transcends all boundaries.
