he Decoys are a five-man powerhouse rhythm and blues band, featuring five of the most seasoned musicians, anywhere. David Hood, bass guitarist, was a member of the world famous Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and has played on a list of albums that reads like a who's who of the music industry, such as Aretha Franklin, Bob Segar, Rod Stewart and many more. Guitarist, Scott Boyer, is renowned for his work in "Cowboy" and the Eric Clapton version of his song, "Please Be With Me" on the "461 Ocean Boulevard" album. Kelvin Holly has long been recognized as one of the South's premier guitarists. He has played and recorded with artists such as Little Richard, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, and Bobby Blue Bland. N. C. Thurman plays keyboard, harmonica, guitar, melodica and vocals. He has recorded with greats such as Percy Sledge, Gregg Allman, Hank Williams, Jr. and many more. Mike Dillon completes the band with timing and showmanship on the drums. He has played with Grinders Switch and joined Dickey Betts for two years. He was an original member of the band, Clutch, and was a member of the Country-Pop group, the Shooters.
The Decoys was formed 14 years ago by veteran record producer, Johnny Sandlin (The Allman Brothers, Delbert McClinton, Widespread Panic…). The band has grown to gain wide respect and recognition. They have toured the South playing nightclubs and festivals. They have performed at City Stages in Birmingham, Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, and the Chunky Blues Festival in Mississippi. The band was featured at the grand opening of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, and shortly afterward toured Europe and the Mediterranean. They have appeared in concert with the likes of B.B. King, Delbert McClinton, Bo Diddley, and the Allman Brothers. Each member of the band records writes and plays independently in the studio and on the road, but all remain loyal to the DECOYS out of desire to play quality music with people they respect and admire. A new album is scheduled to be released September 15, 2001. |
