We put together the Finest Musicians available coming out of the Covid Pandemic, and since, have evolved into a Top Shelf ensemble of musicians that deliver superior instrumentation and vocals that provide a kick-ass presentation of our shows.

P22's High Energy Delivery and Musicianship was formed in the light of our influences, to the likes of The Allman Brothers Band, The Arc Angels, Blackberry Smoke, The Joe Bonnamassa Band, and The Black Crowes, to name a few... You will hear those influences throughout the set list whether it be cover tunes, classic blues tunes, or original tunes... P22 delivers the style and musicianship that sets them apart from the pack. 

Collectively, P22 Band Members have many Albums/CD's to their credit as individuals from their previous bands or solo efforts, and continue to work together on recording some our best originals that fit the stylings of the band... Stay tuned for upcoming releases!!!

The Band is focused on Festivals, Theaters and Fine Venues that provide the Live Music Experience... We also provide shows for Private Parties & Corporate Events.
