Marble Garden is a Kalamazoo Jam-band combining progressive blues with Southern-style Soul and jazz-fusion. Leroy Horn's soulful vocals complimented by the dual prowess of Angelo Santelli's slide guitar and Leroy's own guitar, Tom Eldred's B3 organ layering the funk with lush overdriven chords, or at times honking on the alto sax, with Matt Triple Forte's bass acting as a third guitar laying down growling subsonic grooves, and Scott Kreiger & other guests propel the band with a funki-fried percussive force. From straight up blues, stompin' like a potato masher to jazz-fusion jamming to intense, feedback-laced grooves, Marble Garden is a unique jam-band playing music you can't hear anywhere else.

Hey boyz, saw you at Peace Fest: fun times. BLUE MOON BLUES BAND has two big shows this weekend: Friday at Billy's Lounge and Sunday at Kalamazoo's Bronson Park. Hope to see you around. billy
WOW AND WOW AGAIN. I hope you all have a great promoter because I'm sure there are great things in the future for your band. You were just wonderful at the St. Louis blues festival.
Hey fellas last night was awesome despite a small turnout. You guys are incredibly good for your age. When you're 22 you'll be the biggest Jam Band in all of Michigan, and with the "live experience" of guys in their 30's. I think great things are ahead for you guys. The whole band is solid in their respective instruments.. No "Ringo Star" types just along for the ride. Angelo I'm going to go ahead and say you are one of the best slide players i've seen in MI. I already knew that going in, but your playing is bold. The big suprise was Leroy! Dude you got skillz on the mic and the guitar! Your keys player has a great ear, and your rhythm section definately locks in tight. I can't wait to see how far things go for you. We'll do it again real soon. Chuck
Fellas!!! The 30th is going to be uber fun. Steal the flyer off our page if you wish. Janowski slapped it together. There definately has to be some bandmate switcheroos and debauchery. Cya at the show! Chuck
