THE JOINT CHIEFS, based in Northern California, supply the masses with funk-driven jams straight from outer space.   Opening their shows with pure spontaneity provides a precursor to the unique workings of a band fully seasoned with just the right elements of funk, blues, jam, rock, and a touch of rap by the one & only Bryant Anderson a.k.a. Notorious B.R.Y.

 

Originally formed by, guitarist, Anderson (also of Notorious B.R.Y.), The Joint Chiefs have had various members of staff, however the newest crew has proven to be the ticket.  Guitarist Bob Tiernan teamed with Anderson in 2003, following his arrival in NorCal from the Denver, CO music scene (more on Tiernan).  Drummer, Tom Boylan, collaborated with Tiernan in various NorCal projects following the split of Santa Cruz touring band, Liquid Foundation, joining The Joint Chiefs in 2004 (more on Boylan & solo project Holus Bolus).   Bassist, Joey Tippett, is the newest member of The Joint Chiefs and shines as master of the low end with much groove and DJ experience.  For further info and fun, check out the Chiefs’ myspace page:  www.myspace.com/thejointchiefsband
