The Reformers
Bio: Imagine if the Meters built an Uptown time-machine tour bus, drove it across the Atlantic to London and picked up Led Zeppelin, then punched it into 1993 and joined Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Jamiroquai, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Denver Lollapalooza show. Now imagine that you don’t have the capital or the technology to design your own time-machine tour bus (wait, that’s probably true), but you really want to know what it would be like to take John Mayer, Maroon 5, and Donavon Frankenreiter back to our time-warp Lollapalooza show where all that sound from the 60s, 70s and 90s is coalescing. How frustrating, right? No worries—now there’s a way to relieve the frustration and sooth your historical jones for the best rock ‘n’ roll music from five decades: The Reformers have hit the scene! Blending guitar player Boris Kalikstein’s blues and pop influences, bassist Ryland Percy’s affinity for grunge and funk, drummer David Smith’s classic rock aesthetic, and vocalist Stefan Ramsbott’s folk and pop sensibilities, The Reformers combine sounds to create an intense, captivating rock ‘n’ roll experience that, when you hear it, makes you want to “startmovin’ and shakin’ something automatically.”
