Steady Legend

Wednesday night at Antone’s began with the hometown reggae/funk/jazz fusion band, Steady Legend. The ‘None of the Above’ band boasts an eight man group with a three-piece brass section, a refreshingly deep voiced, Joplin-esque female lead Analysa Gonzales, and an animated bassist best described as the offspring of Flea; who is clearly enjoying playing the music as much as the audience loves hearing it. - Track Rambler

Steady Legend’s “Every Little Thing” Background:

While “Every Little Thing” is set to be released August 5th, The Pier has the exclusive give away for this week only. This is the first tease at what to expect from their forthcoming new record Chapter 2, set for a January 2017 release.

“I wrote Every Little Thing about the ‘Honeymoon Phase’ of a relationship,” says guitarist Mike Mancuso, the band’s principal songwriter. “Sometimes when you’re single, you’ve had a bunch of failed short-term relationships, you start to get down and think you’ll never find someone right for you. The song is about the feeling you get in a new relationship and everything little thing about them feels right.”

When describing their music, Mancuso explains “I never know what to say when people ask me what kind of music we play. We play six distinct styles that I can name off the top of my head, with influences of others, too. I generally call it ‘upbeat music’ and let listeners decide how they want to categorize it.”

I’d say ‘upbeat music’ is a great way of putting it, but emphasized with a fun horn section, percussion, rock & roll guitars and a funky bassline. I’d recommend it after your first coffee in the morning on the way to work with its upbeat swing that should influence a great attitude for the ensuing minutes following it’s performance.

“Our first album was heavier in reggae and ska,” says Mancuso, thinking back on the band’s beginnings and musical evolution. “The new album will feature more funk and rock. We’re pushing into new genres but not losing sight of where we came from.”
