Here’s the important announcement.

After four years together and over 150 shows, Dynamic Stew will be going on Hiatus. The band got together and agreed that it was best to take a much needed break. This decision will give all members of the band other opportunities. However, it is not out of the question that the band may never play together again. So with this said, we will play our last three shows on

• December 29th - Ace of Clubs (NYC)
• January 5th - Mr. Beery’s (Bethpage NY)
• January 20th - Patchogue Theatre (Patchogue NY)

Thanks to everyone who supported Dynamic Stew along the way. We couldn’t have made it this far without all of you. Happy Holidays…

We also want to thank everyone who helped make this Halloween the most memorable to date. The stage, costumes, and promoting couldn’t have been done without your help. A special thanks to Steve Beery and the rest of the Beery’s crew. Without your support, we wouldn’t have ever gotten our feet off of the ground.”

This year’s event, on Saturday October 28th, will feature a “Destruction of the Senses,” with Dynamic Stew beginning the night at 10:30pm. Taking the ideology of Ken Kesey and Neil Cassidy’s Merry Pranksters, Mr. Beery’s and Dynamic Stew will work in the now imfamous Kool Aid Tests. Make sure you dress in your favorite Captain Tripps outfit for the ultimate freak out. Dynamic Stew will be playing into the late hours of the night.”

“The term “jam band” is thrown around a lot these days – usually to describe acts that aren’t usually pigeonholed in a particular style. What style would you call Phish? Or John Hiatt? P-Funk?

Luckily, there’s an act in this region that combines all those styles and a lot more, delivering a rich funk stew with each performance. No wonder the members of this particular band chose to call the act Dynamic Stew, because that’s exactly what this funkified live act delivers with each performance.”

They’re also an extremely busy unit, with constant area performances as well as many recently at the hot New York City club Coda, where they are garnering a healthy and loyal following. In fact, the band’s website features three listenable MP3 versions of their songs – “Strong Pimp Hand,” “Red Clay,” and “My Lady” – that were recorded at the hot Big Apple night spot.

Of course, it takes a lot of hard work to be able to perform at such a top venue, and that’s exactly what Dynamic Stew has put in for the past three years. In April 2003, Ray Holman (drums and vocals) and Ryan Duffy’s (guitar and vocals) creation, Dynamic Stew, took flight. By combining the talents of Matt Fox (bass), Mike Schieferstein (tenor and soprano saxophone), Jamey Zebrack (keyboards), and Geno Licata (percussion), Dynamic Stew has been hammering the music scene with a forceful grit ever since.
