| sample some Delta Reign: |
Delta Reign is a gulf coast band that is
cooking up a unique new sound that fuses
traditional bluegrass with western swing
rythms, tight vocal harmonies, jam band style
instrumentals, stirring in some blues, a dash
of jazz, resulting in what some are calling
"bluegrass...delta style".
They are a relatively new band from the
Mobile river delta and Perdido Key, Florida
area that got together in the fall of 2004 for a
jam. There was an energy and groove that
they had together and instantly, they knew
that this was to be a new band. So one week
later as hurricane Ivan changed all thier lives,
Delta Reign was formed...
The band members of Delta Reign are
Benita Murphy on upright bass and most of
the lead vocals, her husband Pat Murphy on
banjo, lead and harmony vocals, and
Norman Jeter on lead guitar and harmony
vocals. Each of them bring to the table their
own unique background of musical
influences that blend together and give Delta
Reign that unique sound that is “stretching
the boundaries” of traditional bluegrass.
While the band was formed in fall of 2004, it
took them about a year to start pursuing their
music professionally. Playing mostly local
venues, colleges, some live radio programs
and a few festivals, the band has been
building their repertoire and honing their
musical skills. They are now expanding their
horizen by traveling and playing more shows
and festivals. Having just released their first
CD in September 2006, the band is excited
about where this still developing sound
might take them...so be on the lookout, you'll
be hearing more about this "delta bluegrass"
band, Delta Reign.
