By: Mikala Lugen
Since their inception, Connecticut-based funk-soul octet West End Blend—comprised of vocalist Erica T. Bryan, drummer Sam Horan, bassist Tom Sullivan, keyboardist Paulie Philippone, guitarists Jesse Combs and Mike Dipanfilo, and trombonist John Mundy, and trumpeter/vocalist Mike Bafundo—has been playing their version of funk and soul in venues all over the Northeast and beyond. As West End Blend prepares to kick off their 2019/2020 winter tour starting this Friday, December 20th, at Brighton Music Hall in Allston, MA, Live For Live Music is thrilled to debut the band’s latest single, “Dangerous”.
As the band explains to Live For Live Music, “‘Dangerous’ is the first single entirely self-produced by our keyboardist, Paul Philippone, at his home studio, Funkhaus Music. We are in the process of recording our first full-length album since 2015 [Rewind]. Under new representation from Madison House, we are also currently in the process of planning out our 2020 calendar for what will be our biggest touring schedule to date.”
