DuPont Brass – Once In A Lifetime

The Alchemist

Aye Ant (Anthony), Deacon Izzy (Isaac), and MK Zulu (Jared) of DuPont Brass join the Alchemicast: with Andy Reed to talk about how busking (performing in the streets for tip money) became the catalyst for paying the band’s tuition as students at Howard University. We caught up with them before they received the win in four Wammie Award categories in 2021, but the band is heating up for their Rhythm & Grills livestream event happening Memorial Day weekend on May 31st, providing some flavor for your cookout. The guys discusses their influences and contributions to the sound of the band, and why each members’ projects outside of the band lend to their supergroup sound.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
