    The Melton Brothers Band's style is a blend of groove swing, R&B, country blues and roots rock, and their show is a musical conversation delivering their own songs and stunning interpretations with rhythms and harmonies so tight these guys seem like one soul. Dale's unique organ style with Garth Hudson, Matthew Fisher and Booker T influences is the icing on this rhythmic cake. The Meltons hit their stride in the '70s and early' 80s playing primarily concert-oriented venues from the Eastern Shore to the Greater Philadelphia area. The world is buzzing from Australia, Japan, Sweden and England to New York, Chicago and LA over their 1979 LP re-discovery, songs the Meltons play today with a fresh spontaneous edge. The LP has become a worldwide collector's item and a catalyst for the group's recent expanding popularity.
