A dynamic trio, Featuring the tantalizing vocals of Jonnie Bandy, is now available for a variety of occasions in the Tampa Bay area. Music of the 60's-70's-80's and current day hits are performed by this Tampa based trio and are presently accepting bookings for your next event. This trio will provide four-piece quality sound in a cost effective three piece package. From casual to formal affairs, ballrooms to backyards...The Bump in the Road Band will blend with your audience and provide hours of entertainment with fun and great dance tunes. For the quieter times during the event, you can be assured that the trio is capable of providing just enough background music to set the tone but not be intrusive. But once the lights dim and the plates are cleared, be prepared to hit the floor with those feet that can't stop tapping. Warning, Beware...Our music has been known to drag the most resistant participant on to the floor with distorted gyrations to follow. You've been warned!

As we travel around the Bay area, we are gathering more friends and fans as we perform.  It is especially rewarding to start to see familiar faces turn out when we repeat some of the venues we have already played.  Equally cool is when the club owner schedules us for a repeat visit.  We hope each of our friends we meet will take the time to join our mailing list where we send out a weekly blast to let people know where our next stop will be.  It also allows you to send in requests of songs you would like to hear us play as well as any additional comments you would like to share.  Thanks to all of you for the support.

    You take after your Mom, she always knew how to get to me! Hope you can make it. It is a fun place, small but very active and good folks hang there. Enjoyed seeing Cathy and Jack a couple of weenends ago. They surprised me when we were at Rick's on the River. She seems pretty happy.

  • You are right Linda...that must have been another lifetime. I still have the speaker box that Ed and I built for my bass when we played there and it has a speaker in it from John Toff, the guitar player we played with at the lounge. Glad you are aboard, now get over here some weekend so you can hear us!
