Originating from varied musical backgrounds, the founding trio of drummer Eric Low, guitarist/lead vocalist Jonathan "Skippy" Huvard, and guitarist/vocalist James Dumm strive to be masters of adaptability... Says Eric, "We can play a country blues honky-tonk show, a 10 piece funk extravaganza or a melt your face off guitar rock-a-thon!" Skippy brings the Dirty Southern Blues feel, Eric adds a funky energetic New Orleans approach and guitar monster James is a human jukebox.With the ability to play virtually the entire rock and roll encyclopedia, the Fox Street Allstars choose tunes that suit their strengths and fit their sound "We didn't want to do middle of the road songs that you hear every band play," explains James. The typical set might include tunes by Dr. John, The Rolling Stones, The Meters, The Faces, and more...In 2007 longtime collaborators and Colorado natives, James and Eric began kicking around the idea of a band with a rotating lineup. "The original concept was to pick a bunch of covers we liked and tailor the set to whoever we played with," explains James. At the same time, Skippy, originally from Houston, began spending his free time hanging out and jamming with acquaintances James and Eric. Continues James, "Once Eric and I started playing with Skippy there was a real connection and that's when we made it a real band." Dave Solzberg and Bill McKay (on bass and keys respectively) round out the wall of sound with their seasoned skill and intensity. With the wide range of influences that are shared amongst the band members, The Fox Street All Stars have quickly built a catalog of cover songs and originals that numbers in the hundreds, allowing for vastly different setlists from show to show..."My favorite thing about playing in this band is how fun all the shows are and how fun it is to play with James, Skippy, and company," says Eric. Bringing this vibe to the audience is a collective goal for the band. Explains Skippy, "We strive to make people feel as if they are a part of the show, a piece of the action, not just watching a concert. I want the audience to escape from the worries and pressures of life and to set themselves free of all burden; to reach a point of pure joy and elation, and to dance their asses off."The Fox Street All Stars Are:Eric Low- DrumsJonathan "Skippy" Huvard- Vocals, GuitarJames Dumm- Vocals, GuitarDave Solzberg - BassThe Fox Street All Stars have shared the stage with Stanton Moore of Galactic, Papa Mali, John Medeski of Medeski, Martin + Wood, Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Marc Ford (formerly of The Black Crowes and Ben Harper's Innocent Criminals), Andy Hess (of Gov't Mule and The John Scofield Band), Brian Jordan of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Jazz guitarist extraordinaire Will Bernard, as well as members of Colorado's Leftover Salmon, Kinetix, Yo, Flaco!, and Filthy Children.
