Samuel L Cool J features a various cast of musicians hailing from the wonderful Phoenix area: Gospel Claws, Through and Through Gospel Review, Ladylike, Wooden Indian, Programming Hiro and Mergence. Formed by the versatile Joel Marquard and front-man vocalist Haendel Balzora, the retro soul outfit combines Motown, Staxx, Do-wop, rock and pop into a “Happy” groove that would make Pharrell tip his hat.
The band has just released its “Slip and Slide” 7” Split with fellow desert soul rockers Black Carl ala President Gator.
