Steve Straight & company





Bedrock


 

What Bedrock Is

A band that performs the songs you love to remember from the 60s and 70s.

Guys who play this stuff because they love it as much as you do.

Guys who wear shoes and no (real) animal skins.

 

What Bedrock Plays

The classic songs you know, and the one-hit wonders you never hear performed live anymore.

Music that will make you glad you came out to hear the band.

Nothing that requires bones, mastadon mating calls, or royalties to Barry Manilow.

 

Who Bedrock Is

3 musicians with more than 60 years (no joke!) of combined road wear, namely:

 

Nick DiFranco (guitar, vocals, incense)
Blues/funk/jazz/rock-master DiFranco has been a fixture on the Boston club circuit since Polyester was invented. Since then, essences of Vaughn, Hendrix, Lennon and Santana have taken up residence in his soul and defined his unmistakable style.

(bass, vocals, matches)
The veteran of more wedding receptions than your local priest, Straight has finally found guys who will put up with his musical-taste schizophrenia and humor his insatiable appetite for harmony.

A veteran of the Central Massachusetts bar scene of the 1970s and '80s, Art was invited to join Bedrock after following the band for a long time. "I think it was Craig who said: 'Stop following us … and give us those photographs,'" Phelps says. "It was very exciting— I was such a fan of the group, and I still am."
