After spending years on the road with long time friend and mentor Karl Denson, Slightly Stoopid’s saxophonist Daniel “DELA” Delacruz, along with Denson and Los Angeles’ own The Aggrolites, collaborated to create a jazz influenced reggae record. The final product would be called “Opening Night,” and was released in 2017 on Stoopid Records. Since leaving California and moving back to the Northeast, DELA has reconnected with some of Boston’s finest musicians to form his new band called DELA & Steady Rock Easy. He is joined by trombonist Brian Thomas (John Brown’s Body/Bt ALC Big Band), trumpet player Mark Berney (The Skatalites/Soul Shot), guitarist Steve Fell (Marco Benevento/BTALC), bassist Aaron Bellamy (The A-Beez/The Sam Kininger Band), drummer Jesse Hayes (The Toasters/The Attractors), and keyboardist Cameron Greenlee (The Skatalites/Naya Rockers). With their deep catalog of reggae influenced originals and top notch musicianship, DELA & Steady Rock Easy are definitely not to be missed!
