| Central Heat was originally conceived to be the band that musicians would emulate. And as such, Central Heat succeeded in gaining the respect of numerous musicians in the Washington, DC area as well as the mid-Atlantic and West Coast regions. |  |
Central Heat was born with every intention of breaking traditional ground for local groups from the area. As a result, it quickly found it's roots deep-seated in what is now known as blue eyed soul music (or what the guys in the band affectionately refer to as Funk). The primary objective of Central Heat was to bring soul music to the people in a way that had never been |
|
accomplished
before. Providing an intense rhythm section, funky in-the-cut guitars
and the hottest horn section on the East Coast. Central Heat has met and
exceeded their objective.
