The Mighty Soul Drivers are New England's keepers of the Memphis Soul flame. Years of playing all kinds of gigs from major festival stages to corner taverns has honed each member's skills to a fine edge. They mine the deepest old Soul nuggets and breathe new life into them while finding the cream of Memphis-styled contemporary tunes and creating their own soulful originals. The Mighty Soul Drivers deliver the goods. From the moment the opening horn riff blasts out of the speakers, The Mighty Soul Drivers pump out the best Memphis-style Soul to be heard in Southern New England.
THE MIGHTY SOUL DRIVERS ARE:
GREG SHERROD
// vocals
Veteran vocalist and front man Greg Sherrod's powerful vocals have driven the success of bands from The Rock'n'Roll Circus to his own Greg Sherrod Band. Greg is The New England Music Hall Of Fame 2026 Artist Of The Year. He has recorded four CDs of original material, and now brings his power and presence to The Mighty Soul Drivers.
RIVER CITY SLIM
// drums
After singing and playing harp as the front man for The Blues Blasters throughout the 90's, Slim has led The Zydeco Hogs as they brought the sound of Louisiana Zydeco and Blues to the Northeast. Slim has been spreading the Soul, Blues and R&B gospel over the air for years as a DJ on WWUH and WAPJ. The idea for The Mighty Soul Drivers had been kicking around in the back of his mind for a while when a chance meeting with original Mighty Soul Drivers vocalist Bob Orsi at a CT Blues Society jam session in early 2012 finally put the wheels in motion.
LARRY WILLEY
// guitar
Crowd-pleasing guitarist Larry Willey has led Blues and R&B bands for years, including The Working Band and The Blues Talkers. After witnessing the excitement of the Blues and R&B pioneers at the legendary Shaboo Inn in its 1970's heyday, Larry cut his musical teeth with CT Blues pioneers The Albert Otis Band, and has been a fixture on the CT Blues and R&B scene ever since.
PAUL MOLINARI
// saxophones
Paul is a veteran horn man and also a keyboard player that has performed with such great bands as Still Kickin' w/The Big City Horns, Tommy Whalen & The Retro-Rockets and more. He's been the first-call sax sub for the Mighty Soul Drivers for several years and is now the main man!
NEIL TINT
// trumpet
Neil put his horn in storage for a while to work and raise a family, but he's dusted off the fedora and white linen jacket to round out the MSD horn section. Neil has come into his own as the leader of the section, having cleaned up and re-arranged the charts. He's also doubled as an under-assistant lighting technician.
BOB BOCCHICHIO
// keyboards
Veteran keyboard man Bob Bocchichio has been featured with New England bands Johnny Six-Gun, Measured Soul and The Blues Chasers and has also led his own organ-based group. He now brings his formidable organ and piano chops to The Mighty Soul Drivers.
FATHER GINO
// bass
Gino has held down the bottom for a number of popular Southern New England bands, beginning with CT's ground-breaking Blues band Albert Otis & The Homewreckers. Gino worked with River City Slim as a member of The Blues Blasters in the 90's and with Larry as a member of The Working Band and later The Blues Talkers. Gino spent several months working with The Mighty Soul Drivers when our original bassist was on medical leave, but now he's taking his rightful place as the rock of the MSD rhythm section.,
