The Hoboken Cafe 

Hoboken, NJ Whiskey Bar, January 17, 2005 -- the Mike Dalton Band performed a showcase with all original hits off of their newly released CD, Glider. 11:15 pm center stage, the first note was hit off of the guitar from Mike Dalton opening up with Stairs of Love and the crowd came to a halt to hear the sound track they've waited for off of Glider. The atmosphere was intense, with a packed crowd waiting to hear the newest originals from this band. In a smoked filled room, fans inched closer to the stage and chatter was halted with cell phones in mid air, their attention was now totally focused on four guys, Mike, Eddie, Jimmy and Nick, who are the Mike Dalton Band. Immediately following the intensity of this crowd, the band played The Story of My Life, and reflected the life and tributes of Mike Dalton, lead singer. GLIDER is composed of songs that tell the personal story of Dalton's life, which many a fan can relate to those same stories possibly occurring once in their lifetime. The sound that is accelerated from these musicians energizes the fans to a level of an adrenal rush, no doubt about it. These are four musicians dedicated to their work and to each other. Jimmy Druiett, drummer, didn’t miss a beat with his sticks and brought out the rhythm with every hit. Primrose Lane followed with a soother sound and more melancholy. Guitarist, Eddie Carson was so intense in hitting the strings which complimented Dalton on this tune. A little bit of reggae takes stage with their track entitled, More Than Eyes. Bass player, Nick Massaro totally rocked with Dalton on this number. A more sentimental tune hit stage, For Life, which Dalton embraced with so much emotion one could only relate to the special person they might have encountered at one time in their life. The Mike Dalton Band, four different musicians, but four outstanding musicians whose chemistry ignites as one, they are the Mike Dalton Band. The experience of seeing these guys perform is awesome and outrageous; you are totally captivated by their overall sound. By the end of the evening you were gliding to the rhythm and sounds of the tracks off of Glider. A truly dynamite and outrageous band that any age group would want to embrace.
