&nbsp;Real music by real people, played live and recorded live. This best embodies the philosophy of established Boston band Delta Generators and their approach for their latest record&nbsp;ON &amp; ON. In an industry where technology has become the standard and intelligence has become artificial, Delta Generators are keeping it real and will continue to do so going forward. All the songs on this record were written, arranged and rehearsed over a period of eight days and then recorded in two days at&nbsp;Power Station&nbsp;N.E. in Waterford, CT by Evan Bakke, best known for his work with Warren Haynes and Prince. The idea was to get together, play and when something feels right, work it! No preconceived ideas as to what it should be. A journey of liberation, inspiration and perspiration. Yeah, Blues is the vehicle, but their lifelong love of rock music is the fuel that powers it.&nbsp;
Brothers Charlie and Rick O’Neal, on guitar and bass respectively, have been playing together since their teenage years. Most notably as members of&nbsp;Benjamin Orr’s band, former singer and bass player with&nbsp;The Cars. Sometimes they would go off and do other projects, Charlie toured with UK band Must and Rick played in Boston guitar hero Johnny A’s band, but inevitably they would play together again and again. Charlie had been playing in rock bands throughout his early years, but he was always a huge fan of Blues guitar. He spent years honing his abilities by playing along with records. When the opportunity presented itself for a Blues driven side project, he was all in. That moment altered his future, placing him in the position to celebrate his passion for personal heroes like Elmore James, Freddie King and Albert Collins. When the ensemble was first conceived, a lover of R&amp;B and Soul named Craig Rawding took the mic as the original front man. Charlie O’Neal brought on his brother Rick as the bassist. And&nbsp;
in 2007, the Delta Generators were born. The initial drummer had to bail after a few months, so up-and-coming percussionist Jeff Armstrong was brought into the fold. By 2008, it was no longer a side project, and they captured the win at the Boston Blues Challenge. They went on to Memphis to compete in the International Blues Challenge where they almost took the top spot. From there the band went on to forge a solid place in the Boston Blues scene. They went on to record four records before Craig decided to leave the band in 2016. Enter Brian Templeton, a fixture in the local scene since 1991. His band The Radio Kings had already recorded for two labels, and he had toured all across the U.S. and Europe with them and as a solo artist. A consummate showman and lover of the spirit, Brian was rooted in the rock music of his youth and was already a seasoned Blues Man. It was a perfect fit and the rest as they say is history. “Brian lifted the DGs to a new level with his showmanship and drive,” says Charlie, “I don’t think the band would have continued if Brian hadn’t joined.” Brother Rick continues, “Besides his top-notch vocals, Brian brought a powerful stage presence and killer harmonica playing to the mix and his lyric writing is in a class all by itself." 


The new album is anything but vanilla. After all these years together, the quartet has a voice and swagger that is all their own. The new repertoire is a pure collaboration that has captured what makes this union of these four musicians so organic and pure in its creation. Drummer Jeff Armstrong shares, &nbsp;“Unlike the previous record, which was more of a compilation of great songs, this new record stands in itself as a complete cohesive work.” Guitarist Charlie O’Neal offers ,&nbsp;
“ON &amp; ON perfectly captures the live spirit of the band and is by far sonically superior to any of our previous albums.”
Delta Generators love writing and recording but they live to play live. Making a connection with their fans is the most important part of it. As Templeton says. “Making a spiritual bond with the people, our fans, is why we do what we do. There really is no other reason.”
