The members of Lubriphonic have individually toured with artists as diverse as Koko Taylor, Buddy Miles, Otis Rush, The Ohio Players, Buddy Guy and Lenny Kravitz. They have fused their talents and experience as side-men in order to create an orignal project that is soulful, unique, and exciting. Their two 2008 releases, “Soul Solution” and “Lubriphonic Live” (the latter recorded live in a single set at aliveOne in Chicago) exemplify this. The recordings capture the band at it’s best—confident, daring, and very, very, funky. Lubriphonic fuses old-school soul music with hip shaking rock’n'roll and searing improvisation.
Some recent highlights
** Giles Corey was nominated best male vocalist for a “Chicago Music Award” 2009. “Soul Solution” was nominated best CD 2009.
** “Soul Solution” was #1 on Jambands.com radio chart in January. It also reached #5 on Homegrown Music Network radio chart.
** The band played a ton of shows so far this year including one with Buddy Guy & two with Buckwheat Zydeco.
** They are booked to play: Desert Rocks Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival in Yosemite CA, Chicago Blues Festival, Gathering Of The Vibes in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Bear Creek & other festivals this season.
** Progressive Global Agency has signed on to book Lubriphonic. They toured the Southeast with The New Mastersounds culminating with a sold out show second Friday of Jazz Fest in New Orleans at House Of Blues.
** The band recorded their latest release “The Gig Is On” which is slated for release in September. National tours are bringing them from coast to coast.
