Join NJBS for the monthly Blues & Brews Series featuring the Shadetree Mechanics, NY/NJ's finest blues/rock band.

The world is hungry for a great band to relieve them from the doldrums that are currently choking the fun out of the music world. Such a band is Shadetree Mechanics. With 30+ years of experience, Shadetree Mechanics has made a reputation for bringing excitement to every performance.  Named after a ZZ Hill tune, they formed in 1996, where they became part of the blues scene in New York City and the New Jersey Shore.

Comprised of talented musicians: Guitarist Mark (Redman) Schmalzried, Bassist Elmo, drummer Brad Lewis, Saxophonist Steve Gottlieb, and Keyboardist Fred Lind. Rounding out the lineup is dynamic lead vocalist Mike The Rev Rochelle, originally from Chicago, and now residing in New Jersey. They play a mix of Blues/Rock/R&B that is highly energetic, toe-tapping, and crowd-pleasing.  This is a "must-see" band.
