The Righteous Kind is a rock 'n' roll band from Gainesville, Florida - hometown to the likes of Tom Petty, Against me! and the late-great Bo Diddley. Led by award-winning singer/songwriter Charles R Martin, the band puts on a tremendous stage show and has great range - from classic to psychedelic to alternative to garage to pop rock with some Sly-influenced R&B too. The Righteous Kind also acknowledge Ike and both Elvis’s, the Beatles, Chrissie Hynde, Amy Winehouse and The Hives. Three songs on their debut ‘Some Are of Love’ album won songwriting accolades, including ‘Righteous Man,’ winner in the 10th Great American Song Contest, and ‘Show me the day’ - their tribute to MLK - in the 2009 Peacedriven.com contest. Joining guitarist and front man Martin are Tom Miller, formerly of Chicago’s Vini and the Demons, on bass, and drummer Larry Thompson, from the iconic rockabilly band dblWiDE. Rounding out the group is B.B. Brashear on the Hammond B3 organ. “Featuring the one-of-a-kind Charles Ray Martin on guitar and vocals and one of Gainesville’s best rhythm sections, these guys bring back riff-infused rock 'n' roll with a strong psychedelic presence.” Dante Lima, Gainesville Sun www.TheRighteousKind.com www.myspace.com/therighteouskind Find the Righteous Kind on Facebook CDs at www.CDBaby.com/charlesray charlesray67@gmail.com 352-318-1610
