Description
Informed by oldschool soul, funk, and jazz, The Sermon! is a funky quartet from the borough of West Chester PA. Taking their band name from the classic Jimmy Smith record, The Sermon! is primarily an instrumental, Hammond B-3 organ-driven group influenced by the stylings of Grant Green, Lonnie Smith, James Brown, Soulive, Bill Withers, MMW, and others. Climactic live performances are a staple to the band’s high energy stage presence – often accompanied by special guests . The Sermon! has been playing together throughout the north east since their debut performance backing the legendary Papa John Defrancesco in 2005.
