TBridge formed 1997 in Buechenbach, Germany. Original line-up Quincy Phelps(bass/vocal), Axel Dinkelmeyer(drums/vocal), Richard Trowbridge(guitar/vocal) recorded debut album Homemade Blues at back of beyond’s The Den studio together with session players - including Jo Barnikel(keyboard), José Cortijo(percussion), Sebastian Strempel(trumpet), Ralf Bauer(trombone) - before adding Michael Schleinkofer(keyboard) and Joe Healy(lead vocal) in 1999 for the subsequent cd release tour. Healy left later that year and the quartet continued with Trowbridge resuming most lead vocal duties. This line-up recorded Wouldn’t You in 2002, once again at The Den, featuring Traugott Jaeschke(saxophone) and original songs from Trowbridge & Schleinkofer - the first album’s compositions come from Trowbridge. The quintet remained together until 2004. Trowbridge & Schleinkofer played subsequent dates and recorded as RTbridge & Michael Schleinkofer Trio. See also rtbridge. www.rtbridge.com. |
