THE BAND.
The Boston Horns is led by Garret Savluk and Henley Douglas Jr., former front men of the Heavy Metal Horns, and Jeff Buckridge on guitar. Over the course of 20 years, they’ve collaborated and toured with a wide range of artists including Tower of Power, Extreme, Johnny A., Shawn Mullins, Laverne Baker, Susan Tedeschi, James Montgomery, Los Lobos and the Del Fuegos, to name a few. Their compelling mix of funk, jazz and soul has kept them busy performing in clubs and festivals in New England, New York, Montreal, San Jose, New Orleans and as far away as Tokyo.
THE BUZZ.
“Trumpeter Garret Savluk and saxophonist Henley Douglas Jr. .front a band that rides in the pocket alongside such new-jack acid-jazzers as Karl Denson, Galactic and their brassy brethren. But the roots of the Boston Horns go back to the soul-jazz of the late '60s and the proto-funk of the Crusaders, Tower of Power and Melvin Sparks, whose exquisitely greasy lines grace some of East Coast Funk.’” ~ Kevin Convey, Boston Herald
“The Boston Horns. have been burning up stages with high-energy, hard-grooving funk since 1999. Whitfield is a rock and soul legend. Together, they should be an unstoppable force.” ~ J.C. Lockwood, North Shore Sunday
“.Boston Horns lay down a classic sound that is the pillar of all things good and groovy in today's onslaught of fusion.”
~ JR Richards, Jambase
