Scott
and Cush of the Poconos band, Thunder Mountain, will perform at The
Gem.
Scott Valentine:
Scott (Scotty) the thunder behind the mountain. This salty old road
rat has knocked around the music business for years and has been exposed
to many different styles and situations from the studio to the concert
hall and every where in between. When he hefts his behemoth six string
bass to his shoulder you know your in for a ride with a sound a style
all his own. When he closes his eyes and locks with Ruben the groove
is like a runaway train that can transform from an unstopable pocket;
into a soaring solo. With his imposing stature and his bag of chop,
this guy can fill the room.
Cush Read:
A staple performer in the Poconos since arriving in1970, his first gig
was playing on the docks in Key Biscayne at the age of 12 before coming
north. It is virtually impossible to list the people hes played with
over the years before hooking up with the current version of Thunder
Mountain. With a passion for blues and well versed in rock, funk and
many other styles as well as a prolific song writer, he brings the band
to a focus that is easy to recognize and hard to ignore.
