“Y’all got that river beat…” describes Andrew Trube, of the Greyhounds, after a show late one night. The St. Louis area-based ensemble known as Al Holliday & The East Side Rhythm Band has begun their journey with a prolific decade, working all along the way to articulate a message, interpretation and reflection of American humanity and music; into an earth-shaking vision that stands tall - with roots that run deep – from Early R&B and Soul, through Americana and songwriting tradition, always inspired and always with a feeling, telling a heartfelt perspective in music, often examining the experiences, trials and tribulations, we can only describe altogether as: uniquely American. The band has earned it’s reputation amongst their storied region’s premier original performing and recording acts, weaving together the very fabrics on American music into a potent, useable, relevant form that is as authentic as it is funky, all from the vantage point of a true, overlooked home of the Blues, Soul, and original “Rock & Roll” on the Mississippi River, bringing along our specifically Midwest swing, intensity, and “low-down” piano sound.
