Biography


Born: June 14, 1976

Actual Proof was formed in the fall of 2007. The group consists of Eric Mullis on mallet percussion (vibes, malletkat), Silas Aldridge on keys, Phillip Berkley on electric bass, and Scott Brower on acoustic and electric drums.

Actual Proof's music is a unique blend of jazz, funk, and world-beat. The group is inspired by artists such as Herbie Hancock, Galactic, Martin, Medeski and Wood, Gary Burton, The Afromotive, and Stanton Moore.

Press Quotes

”Have you ever seen someone rock the hell out of a xylophone/vibraphone? Eric Mullis easily gets into the groove and hammers away on that thing as he's joined by an amazing cast of musicians. Phillip W. Berkley III brings the right amount of funky bass to the instrumental jazz fusion outfit. They're always entertaining and consistently getting the crowd moving.” Jeff Hahne, Music Editor, “Creative Loafing” (Charlotte)

Actual Proof's debut CD “Paradigm Shift” is imaginative, playful, lively and inventive.”... “Edgy opener 'The Ion' sets the pace, while 'Mongo' surprises with changing tempos and Latinesque tone. There's piano-playing elegance on “Island” while there's even a Grover Washington soundalike on 'The Ride'.” Lew Herman, “Creative Loafing” (Charlotte)
