"Dive House Union is perhaps the pre-eminent band among a new generation of blues-based outfits in the region. Fronted by uber-soulful vocalist/guitarist David Michael Miller - and including guitarist Todd Eberwine, drummer Shannon Street, bassist Dave Herr, keyboardist Tom Scime and saxophonist Barry Arborgast - the band's sound is far too diverse and far-reaching to be labeled strictly blues. But the blues is certainly at the core of the DHU funk/soul/R&B/rock mélange.
Early on, the torrid soul-blues tune "Love Ain't So Blind" and the homage to the band's musical forebears, "Son of Many Fathers," combined to tell the DHU story. These guys are serious players who come together as a musical melting pot, blending styles into a soulful, spicy gumbo. A jet-fueled soul-funk take on Bill Withers' "For My Friend" drove this point home, and was peppered with stellar guitar playing from both Eberwine and Miller. ~jmiers@buffnews.com
Dive houses, juke joints and music halls have been the birthplaces of great musical moments and artists. Hailing from Buffalo New York - Dive House Union is four members from The Todd Eberwine Band and two from Beautiful Bones, bringing their influences together into a Soul Shaking musical experience. They combine a roots vibe, driving rhythms and melodic lines with the spontaneity and energy of a jam band. Empowering the music even more is the spirit of this brotherhood which shines through in every performance- that's the union-that's Dive House Union.
