All new high energy jam band out of New York City What sound would you get if some of the top session musicians in New York City decided to start a jam band so they could get out in the world and have a little fun? Heavy Road is that band. Funky, jazzy, rockin, groovy, hypnotic, are just a few words to describe it, depending on the jam. But it’s all good. Heavy Road was founded by Greg Merritt whose CD “Dream Through A Leaf” debuted at #21 on the Jambands.com radio chart in May of 2008. The music of Heavy Road features an upbeat funky original sound that gets the crowd moving with extended jams and improvisations that few if any other jam bands can equal. On drums is Ron Thaler - accomplished record producer, drum clinician, and wild man who has worked with many of the world’s finest artists including Dweezil Zappa, DJ Logic, Sarah McLachlan, The Led Zep Project, Taj Mahal, Al DiMeola, Mike Stern, Hiram Bullock, Rufus Reid, Will Lee, and many others. On guitar and vocals is Greg Merritt - former member of Good Friend and alumni of the current jam scene phenomenon Buzzuniverse. On Bass is Arthur Sadowski – a 15 year veteran NYC session bassist, performer, composer, and teacher; and a guy that seems to know everyone in the city. On Keyboards is Peter Remm – jazz composer, session pro, and a true mad scientist on the keyboards. “…guitar impresario Greg Merritt digs deep into funk, rock and folk and then tosses it all in the air… These tracks really hit hard and make an impression.” - Brian Tucker, Bootleg Magazine “I have been able to dream through a leaf and beyond by listening to this cut.” – eartaste.com
