It was on the Yale stage that the band built a legion of fans as diverse as you can get: hipsters, university students, baby boomers, tourists and musicians from 19 to 55+ all experienced the band live and soon grew to love Brickhouse and their brand of groovy, funky R & B.

Inevitably, you wait to catch that magical groove the band gets into; where 6 musicians turn into the Brickhouse machine…an almost-hypnotic meld of mind, body and soul where the audience, by singing and dancing along, becomes part of one of the best live music experiences you can find anywhere.With their brand of original, funky tracks and cleverly covered classic R&B, Brickhouse blends classic and modern R&B with ease and makes hearing and seeing them an addictive experience.Band MembersRob Bracken – Lead Vocals and HarmonicaRay Keesh – Bass GuitarEd Johnson – Drums, Percussion, and Backing vocalsOldrich (OZ) Zitek – Saxophone and Backing VocalsNeil Cruickshank – Guitar and Backing VocalsDarryl Havers – Hammond Organ, Keyboards and Backing Vocals
