Our first tune. We started working this one out, and threw in a bunch of changes so that it wouldn't sound that much like the original. Besides, we didn't have Marvin's coked-up crooning to hold it down, so we did our own thing with it.



We The People - Ego Trippin' (Marvin Gaye)

Joe Wheelock on vocals, "Charles" on percussion. This was our first time through on this Curtis Mayfield cut, as you might be able to tell. A bit fast, a bit flat, but we're getting there. May 5 2011.

Summertime (Ain't No Sweat)

We The People began as a desire for an organ trio that wanted to play soul... and turned into a rocking monster. In its current iteration, this band exudes confidence, tightness, and swagger. All necessary elements of a rocking, funky, get-down dance band. 

Combining the fun and funk of its heroes with the kind of electricity that can only happen when a band is feeling good and having fun, this four-piece band sounds bigger and better every show. 

Joe Wheelock: vocals, organ, guitar
Pat "Charles" Christian: vocals, percussion
Alfredo Guerrieri: bass, vocals
Eric Vogt: drums and thunder
