The members:

The history:
Veteran Detroit area musicians Norm, Dave and Karl assembled in 2011 to bring back the styles of traditional guitar/drums/organ trio. In that timeframe this band has several genres of over 200 songs in its repertoire, which affords the flexibility to perform for dance crowds, dinner venues, and corporate parties.
What's up with the name:
3B3 - features THREE musicians whose music is dedicated to that classic "B3" sound, and carrying on the tradition for your listening, dancing, and foot-tapping enjoyment. Keeping alive and expanding on the great tradition of the organ trio, we play all your favorites like Booker T & the MG's, Allman Brothers, Santana, Ray Charles, Deep Purple. It's the unmistakable sound you love, but perhaps have not yet identified. It's the glue which connects the music the world craves. You heard it in '60s rock and soul and '70s funk. Whether it be piercing wails or the soothing tones, it evokes unforgettable emotion. Yes, it's a living and breathing organism. It moans, howls and it screams. That legendary and recognizable sound, like no other, comes from the most glorious American instrument ever invented: The Hammond B3 Organ......coupled with it's dynamic marriage companion, the ever-swirling, slow-and-speedy, rotary Leslie Speaker. 3B3: Three musicians whose music is dedicated to that classic B3 sound. 3B3 is Organ-Driven Music: groovin', greasy, grits n' gravy, funk-filled, rock, soul, blues, & jazz!
The style:
Audience-Adaptive: Funk, R&B, Rock, Blues, Jazz
