Pat Colwell and the Soul Sensations rock their way into the new millenium with a powerful mix of robust music centered around classic rock and roll, bodacious renditions of the best soul music and blues, and a complete set of original tunes. Maine’s Speaker of the House, Pat Colwell, (The nation’s only “Rock ‘N Roll Speaker”) paves the way with searing guitar leads from by-gone era’s tastefully blended into contemporary versions of heart-wrenching soul music. His voice is reminiscent of the days of Muddy Waters, Wilson Pickett, and Wolfman Jack. The band’s female vocalist is Gay Grant. Her saucy style and vocal versatility allow the band to cover everything from Patsy Cline to Aretha Franklin with ease and power. Her upbeat style and stage presence pumps audiences up in every venue. Back-up vocals come from bassist John Shaw, rhythm guitar player Logan Johnston, and keyboardist, Ken Smith, allowing for three and four-part harmonies. Ron Grant lays down the groove. The band covers blues and rock and roll from Delbert McClinton, John Lee Hooker, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds, to soul favorites by Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Bonnie Raitt, as well as a complete set of original music that showcases their unique style. Pat and Gay have a smooth rapport with any audience, and polished Master of Ceremony skills. These, together with the band’s danceable repertoire, and unique showmanship, make this band your best choice for weddings, nightclubs, benefits, concerts, and warm-ups for national and world-class touring acts with complimentary styles.
