Soul Sauce is a professional five-piece swinging rhythm & blues group whose big sound and instrumental virtuosity are reaping rave reviews!  Their musical catalog covers the finest artists, plus the band's own original material, all put together with dance grooves in mind.  A favorite of local swingsters, Soul Sauce hits the ground running at each event and keeps the crowd energized the entire night!  The band's swinging blusical brew ranges from jumpin' hits to the low-down & funky!  Come see what the buzz is all about!

All band members have 20+ years of musical & stage experience.  On lead vocals/harmonica is Verdun "Dooner" Manross.  Dooner is like the bobbing-head dog in your back window -- he never stops dancing, and it's clear he's enjoying himself!  On organ, Chicago transplant Bud Grolnick electrifies the crowd with his intensity and mastery of his instrument.  Bud started on accordion at an early age, and since then has become one of the area's finest keyboardists.  Guitarist, Pat Brogan, originally from the D.C. area, plays in so many styles it can make your head spin and your face grin -- from deep blues & swing, to soul, jazz, and rock & roll.  Drummer Mick Ruane is the class clown, the triple-espresso rhythm king, who grew up on this music, sneaking into Muddy Waters shows in the clubs.  Last but not least, Mark Nathans, on Fender Bass, adds authentic "soul" to Soul Sauce.  Mark's retro style and classic tube-driven sound keeps your feet tappin' & your fingers snappin'!
