| They say it can take years to make an overnight
success, and a new band in Ukiah
proves that to be true. The five members of the Felt-tips have over 200 years of musical
experience among them! The Felt-tips play rock, blues, Motown, and country standards, and specialize in danceable beats, vocal harmonies, and tight instrumentals. They've been playing around Mendocino and Lake counties since the summer of 2004, and have gained a following for their high-spirited performances and non-stop dance favorites. The line-up includes guitars, keyboards, drums, and vocals, with each Felt-tip making multiple contributions. |
The Felt-tips were founded by "Indelible" T.J. Elton on lead vocals, guitar, and keyboards,
and "Magic" Marc Levine on vocals and bass. T.J. and Marc have been playing together in Ukiah for
the last 6 years.
On keyboards and vocals is Rudy Loose, who adds a honky-tonk flavor with his fine blues piano work. Jim Switzer contributes blazing lead guitar solos and vocals too. And anchoring the beat is the rock-solid Ray Ashford on drums. Marc the bass player owns a local recording studio, All Ears Audio, and the band is currently recording a CD there. Coincidence? You decide... The Felt-tips play local clubs and taverns, as well as wineries, casinos, special events, and private parties. If you like to dance, hire them for your next party, or watch for them at a club near you! |
