HIDDEN AGENDA

 

The Hidden Agenda Band has its

 own sound. The band members are

 all influenced by The Motown

Sound, R & B and smooth jazz.

One of the strongest rhythm

sections around, Rick Mickens and

 David Freeman bring strong church

 rhythms to the mix. When you add

 that to Top 40 or funk, rock, or even

 country you get a very unique

sound. When Kat plays her horn

with so much soul and keyboardist

 Jeff Campbell lays down a jazz feel

on top, the possibilities are endless.

 Larry Pinho adds “electrifying”

guitar solos to give the band it’s

flavor while drummer Dave lays

down the funky groove.

 

Having a male and female lead

singer makes this band stand apart

 from the rest. Marshall Allen is the

 consummate entertainer connecting

 with the audience as only he can.

He offers various stylings of Marvin

 Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Jeffery

 Osborn. Marshall nails the vocals

of Bill Withers and Lou Rawls,

so much so that the band has been

 accused of faking it or lip-syncing.

Kat’s singing is reminiscent of Chaka

 Khan and Aretha Franklin. Whether

 she sings, dances, plays the sax,

flute or harmonica, the crowd is

 thoroughly engaged. It is very

powerful when Kat and Marshall

sing a duet.

 

This band is also exciting because

they are wireless and totally “live”.

When they perform you will find

yourself interacting with them

and their music, singing and

dancing along. If you’re looking

for a party band, this is it!
