About 2nd Story Band

www.(expired link) for more music and videos
Meagan Lane and Geoff de Mers, founders of Wammy nominated 2nd Story Band grew up in the '50s and '60s and '70s during one of the most musically rich periods in the evolution of American Pop Music.  It was a time when Rock-a-billy, Doo Whop,
R & B, Tejano, Calypso, Cowboy Music (C&W), Swing, Rock & Roll, Folk, and Folk Rock could be heard on commercial radio.  In fact since 1978, as a result of their ability to incorporate these and many other styles including West African, Latin and Celtic, Meagan and Geoff have developed one of the most interesting and fresh sounds to come out of the Metro Washington, DC area.

Over their 30 year career together Meagan and Geoff have worked with some of the very finest musicians in the area from various countries and cultures, especially on Drums, Percussion, Violin and Bass.   As an example: in 1990 they formed a West African Band, Hedzoleh’s Story in collaboration with Amartey Larea, a multi-instrumentalist, singer/ song-writer from Ghana, West Africa.  Their shows included performances at the Smithsonian Museum of African Art and Harmony Hall Regional Arts Center during African History Month.   The African based  music and dance grooves dramatically influenced  the duo's musical growth and songwriting.  Inspired by  these rhythms and  grooves  the 2nd Story Band Duo developed  an exciting new style, a  jammin' World Beat Blend of  funky Blues  & Swing, West African, Caribbean and Pop Rock rhythms. They call it "World Beat Blues".
