As well as that, Scott, Casey, and John are members of the critically acclaimed and highly regarded music group ‘NRBQ’. Being sought after session musicians, the 3 of them have recorded with and played in the bands of Chuck Berry, Brian Wilson, John Sebastian, Mavis Staples, Wanda Jackson, Robbie Fulks, JD McPherson, Pokey Lafarge, The Redwalls, and Jim Boggia. They are musical purists to an extreme extent - never using a set list and performing everything from Duke Ellington to Doug Sahm to Eddie Cochran - and as authentically as it’s ever been played before. Expect surprises - whether it be what you hear, or which special guest they have with them any particular night. Any performance of North Berwyn Rhythm and Soul Organization is not to be missed.
