Foxtrot Zulu is a seven member rock band based out of the United States. The band has released five albums and performed over 500 shows.

[edit] History

In 1994, Nate Edmunds and Neal Jones formed a duo and played music around the campus of the University of Rhode Island. Soon after forming they added Paul Miller (percussion), Jeff Roberge (drums), Jeff Light (trumpet, flugel horn, vocals, harmonica), and Terryston "TK" Kyan (saxophone, mandolin, vocals, piano). Brad Haas (bass guitar, vocals, lead guitar) also joined the group. He plays guitar only on certain tracks. Throughout its existence, Foxtrot has always believed in giving back to the community, as evidenced by the fact that at one point or another, each of its members has worked at Perspectives Corporation, a company devoted to bettering the lives of those individuals with developmental disabilities, located in South County, Rhode Island. The group has also shown their devotion to the bettering the community by playing a number of benefit concerts, one accessible example of this can be found in the group's only professionally produced live recording, Live..., which showcases the highlights of a two night stand at The Ocean Mist, a local watering hole located in Matunick Beach, RI. This tradition was once again called into play after the tragedy of 9-11, when, Foxtrot Zulu, along with Sublime cover band Badfish shared a bill at The Ocean Mist to benefit the families of those who worked at the restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center. All proceeds from that night were donated to survivors and their families.

[edit] Current

The band has recorded their fifth album, titled "Tonight". It contains many crowd favorites that had yet to make their way onto any of their four previous releases. This includes the track "Boulevard" in a much shorter form than the live version, due mainly to the shortening of the extensive drum solo usually found between the chorus and the second verse. The album also features guest vocalist and executive producer Marc Roberge, from Of A Revolution.
