On Air
On Air specializes in solid rockers that lean heavily toward the style of Chicago and Tower of Power. The repertoire ranges from hot Motown and Rhythm & Blues to favorites by Steely Dan, Van Morrison and The Doobie Brothers. The group can also pull out lots of popular frat rock and also includes a smattering of jazz, swing and soul. An On Air performance is a visual treat as well; the group's showmanship is as superb as the music itself. Lead guitarist John Blake, bassist David Rees, keyboard player Eric Dahm, drummer John Duvall, vocalist Ava Lemert, and founding member and lead singer Bob Lang form a tight rock rhythm section that drives the band.
But it's the Tower of Power-type horn section that provides the uniqueness of On Air: Raul Sandoval (tenor sax), Vahan Kachadorian, Greg Evans (trumpets), Brian Nakagawa (trombone) and Brad Tom (baritone saxophone).
