Blue Rhythm Sandwich
* * *
At Local 269's blues jam sessions, they all met Dave Gerstein (bass) and Lyall Croft (drums), who shared their love for the blues, classic rock, country, pop, R'n'B, and rockabilly.  Several photos here were taken at rehearsals in NYC's AM Rehearsal Studios, in the fall of 2013, shortly after the band formed, UltraSound Studios (2015-2017), or Libra Studios (2017-2018).

BLUE RHYTHM SANDWICH coalesced into a band in 2012, out of the NYC blues jam scene. Leigh Harrison (vocals, guitar, percussion) and Bobby Perfect (guitar, vocals) had been playing as a duo for many years, and had worked together in numerous bands. Both Leigh and Bob had occasionally played with Aaron Comins (keyboards, sax) during that time.
BLUE RHYTHM SANDWICH consists of (L to R) Dave Gerstein (bass), Leigh Harrison (vocals & percussion), Bobby Perfect (guitar & vocals), and Lyall (drums). The band is currently on en extended hiatus (Photo credit: Chris / 2018)
