About Us:

Based out of Edgewood, Maryland (a suburb north east of Baltimore) and formed in the summer of 2009, FIST MONKEY has been playing the club circuit in the greater Mid-Atlantic area for the past few years with several lineup changes. Then late in 2010 local Maryland axe slinger Matt Tripp was available to audition and he soon joined the current Fist Monkey lineup in Feb 2011. Currently FIST MONKEY's lineup is; Kenny Lee: Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Vibes Phill Spikee; Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals Dave Sisson Jr.: Percussion, Backing Vocals Matt Tripp: Lead Guitar, Slide Guitar, Harmonica, Backing Vocals FIST MONKEY’S goal is to stray from the typical "bar room fodder" rock cover songs, with our diverse set lists. Blending the needed standards to keep our audience dancing and having a good time, but add a unique and eclectic list of songs that will keep our fans coming back for more to see what we can pull out of our trick bag. We attempt to play the best tunes from the greatest era's of rock music from the '60's, '70's and '80's; Classic Rock, Electric Blues, Hard Rock and Instrumental Jams, with a touch of modern pop thrown in to keep our sound fresh. On any given gig, we will have local guest musicians sitting in with the band to add their own flavor and style to our shows. We also perform an acoustic set, electric power blues set and are working on a showcase set of original music and plan to release a live or studio CD in the future.

Their sound is classic from the 1940s-1970s with a song list ranging from The Everly Brothers and Chuck Berry to Patsy Cline and Hank Williams with a dash of Bob Wills thrown in.
