AS many of you know, Trystette has the pleasure of regularly featuring T.M. Stevens in both recorded and live performances so I thought it time to dedicate a band letter to this great musician. I have just come back from touring with T.M. Stevens while they played in Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Every night a new city and 2 1/2 hours of metal funk, afro funk , deep funk and even mosh-pitting metal-speed-funk for oh yea of rubbery knees and malleable limbs. Watching this legendary performer on stage every night winning over new audiences and reducing his faithful fans to fresh gello - as they gleefully trembled in the line of loud bass fire - I remain absolutely the dedicated admirer of trail blazers like TM. He is out there defining his own brand and genre of music, Heavy-Metal Funk, and when he takes a venue, he holds it in the palm of his famous hand and believe me, don’t fight it, you have to like it, it’s too original, he is such an enormous bass virtuoso and soulful singer. Accompanied by the exceptional craftmasters, Master Blaster Michael Barnes, guitar, and T.C Tolliver, drums, it’s hard to accept that three men can create such a huge wall of inspirational sound. The anticipated CD “Africans In The Snow” is not yet available in the USA but I will send you a link as soon as it is and keep you all posted.

Still recovering from the funk !
