The first single from The Gentleman Contenders

Starters Pistol

The cacophony of Bonhamesque timbre echoes sharply as you approach the room. “What is this?” you ponder as you cautiously inch forward, “Why, that’s Raymond Debly! He’s a world class percussionist!” you shout to no one in particular, and you’re correct in your summation. Just then, the melodic swirl of Kingston native, Mitchell Belyea’s polyphonic articulations chime effortlessly with the masterfully arranged madrigal. “Oh my lanta” you quietly manage, as your knees grow weak and the tears fill your eyes, “This is music! Finally, music!” Certainly you’ve heard the blues, you’ve heard rock and/or roll, you’re aware of jazz, and they play pop music through the speakers at your minimum wage job; but this is music, and these men, accompanied by Kyle Roberts, are The Gentlemen Contenders. Struggling to become more and more gentlemanly, one bar to the next.
