Allright, ok, you win

Almost like being in love

Hallelujah, I love him so

I can't give you anything but love

I just love being here with you

Quiet fire

Right as rain

Baby I Love You

What words might best describe the overall sound of this very entertaining group?
 
The act features Dave Gillespie on piano and keyboards, while Angie Sanders handles the vocal duties.  Their sound is rounded out with the recent addition of Marty Walker on drums and percussion, (who also performs with the very popular Johnson Brothers Band).As a duo, (or trio), their sound can best be described as a mix of jazz, blues, some motown and hip, contemporary.  The music swings with a fresh energy and yet, can be laid back, with a nice, mellow groove.  It is music that is easy to listen to, and readily familiar, consisting of an array of classic, jazz standards as well as unique interpretations of modern, pop music.  The style is guaranteed to please a variety of musical tastes.  It is energetic and lively, and yet, not overpowering, and can be especially suited to a more intimate setting, if required.  Either way, Dave, Angie and Marty, can provide your establishment or soiree with a very entertaining mix of swinging, dynamic music and good times, guaranteed to please just about everyone.
 
Dave has played extensively throughout the area as a jazz/cocktail pianist for nearly 36 years.  In the late 1970’s he was the keyboard player for “Gary Oliver and the Main Squeeze,” a very popular, local rock band.  In the 1980’s, he toured the southwest, and later, was the featured pianist at the Hyatt Regency in Lexington, performing six nights a week.  Following that stint, he was a popular fixture, performing nightly at Lexitalia Ristorante, which at the time, was the premiere Italian restaurant in Lexington.  In addition to his long term performance commitments, he has performed in numerous venues, both as a soloist, and as part of various rock and jazz ensembles.  He also wrote and recorded music for various commercial jingles, heard on radio and television in the 1980’s.  Despite his busy performance schedule, he was able to earn both a Bachelor and Master’s degree in music, from the University of Kentucky.  Dave continues to be a regular performer here in town, and is currently the director of the piano program at SCAPA Bluegrass, a performing arts, magnet public school in Lexington Kentucky.
 
Angie Sanders is a very gifted and versatile song stylist, who has sung extensively throughout the area for the last 16 years, performing in a number of contemporary pop groups.  Her repertoire includes everything from Motown to Country, from R & B and Classic Rock, to Blues and Jazz.  An attractive singer and performer, she participated and performed in the Miss Kentucky Beauty Pageant in 1993, 1994 and 1995.  Before that, she sang in the prestigious, and selective, University of Kentucky Women’s Choir and later, joined several local, popular bands.  Her distinctive voice has also been featured on several local, commercial jingles.
