Ten Foot Tall Start in New York, travel up the mountains, check out the view, go to Chicago, glide down the Mississippi and flop in New Orleans. Funk in our feet, Blues in our gut, Jazz in our heart and Love on our mind. Acoustic, Electric Shout-at-the-Devil drive all night Mountain Jazz.

After being asked to open a series of shows in the Northeast w/Los Lonely Boys, backing up Rock & Roll hall of famer Bernie Worrell at the Sourland Festival, and an appearance by frontman Popik opening for the Jerry Garcia Band as well as a featured spot at the Cape May Singer Songwriter festival, 2010 turned out to be a breakout year for TFT. 2011 promises more. 'Love & Stone' has been selected for the Alternate Root's Sampler CD, a new disc of fresh material released in March getting regional airplay, a return to Cape May and a featured spot at MMC15, a billing w/legend Dave Mason (April 8, Tarrytown Music Hall,) and a friday evening spot at Musikfest in Bethlehem are a few highlights. Currently working on a 3rd disc w/Grammy winner David Ivory. Past highlights include opening 2 shows for Marshall Tucker and a double Bill w/Robert Hazard and a spot at the annual Black Potatoe Fest.

Andy Janowiak
Drums

Lightning in his hands and Thunder in his feet. Berklee alum Andy Janowiak brings more than groove, more than feel. Like the best in the business he has a unique signature sound. Full, fluid and dynamic. In addition to his work w/TFT Andy has recorded, engineered and produced many tracks with the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of famer Bernie Worrell

Pete Nardone
Keyboards

Pete Nardone has been sited in various venues on the East Coast since 1977. Jamming with the likes of Sweetwater Lemon Jello Jefferson in his past life. On stage Pete usually has his eyes closed. Occasionally accused of peeking at young chippies he counters with, "it's just my way of communing with dead keyboardists who inhabit my body when I'm in a deep trance." Like Bob Marley...When Pete's not jamming he enjoys living on the edge, often working till he passes out, and Vanilla Ice Cream.

Luke Kessel
Bass

Graduate of the school of hard knocks, road campus. Back home after spending a year plus gigging in Asia. Recently covered 5 countries in Europe w/Myra Roxx. Toured nationally with Bluesman Lonnie Shields. Luke "The Duke" is in the pocket but can slap it silly as well. Very in demand TFT is lucky to have the best with us.
