Artist description THE RICK MONAST BANDOutside the extreme world of modern rock, THE RICK MONAST BAND is uncompromising in recapturing the essence of the classic rock experience. The working man's music for the the next century, the RICK MONAST BAND is filled with the restless energy that is true to the bluesy heart of rock and roll. The music, played by stalwilrt musicians of the highest caliber, focuses on a precision groove or an explosive instrumental lead while respecting the integrity of the story within the song.New England's RICK MONAST, songwriter and singer, is a blown fuse of soulful sincerity. More than simply a passionate presence on stage, Monast arouses a fire in the mind and body with concise personal revelations,and a certain literary richness.With effortless style, HOWIE BARLOW spits out rapid fire lead guitar with the confidence befitting his broad instrumental background. In many ways similar to the sibling team of Eddie and Alex Van Halen, Howie's brother, STEVE BARLOW, solidly executes the perfect time-keeping necessary for the concrete sound of the band. Totalizing the camaraderie of THE RICK MONAST BAND is loyal bandmate, DENNIS ALBERT, providing a roadworthy and impacting bass.In slamming synchronicity. THE RICK MONAST BAND can embark on their expansive catalogue of progressive original material. Influenced by the club rock sound of Van Halen, Eddie Money, or The Rolling Stones, the band rips through real numbers like We All Gotta Go and Ordinary Rocker. Conversely, Monast can move an emotional mountain with ballads like the devotional "Tears For Mother" standing firm at the point of the stage. There's a new musical fortress on the landscape of radio-ready rock. Howie Barlow, Steve Barlow, and Dennis Albert are its hardened stone walls and Rick Monast is its fountlation.
