Stephanie Rooker & the Search Engine June 12, 2010

Park Slope's Tea Lounge welcomes back *Stephanie Rooker* & her soul-jazz-funk band, *the Search Engine* for 2 sets on Saturday, June 12th @ 9pm & 10:30pm. suggested donation : $5

Stephanie Rooker & the Search Engine’s soul-shaking sounds range from saucy R&B to innovative funk and jazz-infused ballads. Rooker sings with the careful phrasing of a soulful Eva Cassidy, the wailing of a blues-steeped Bonnie Raitt & the self-affirmative slant of Stevie Wonder. This unique & alluring music—influenced by Rooker's Appalachian roots, musicology studies & world travels—is fueled by an almost tangible passion, creating a force for empowerment & social change.

Stephanie Rooker (vocals), Ben Tyree (guitar), Mamiko Watanabe (keys), Ryan Berg (bass), Chris Eddleton (drums), Mark Williams (trombone), V Jeffrey Smith (saxes)
