The Real Feel - Meet the Band
The Real Feel, based out of Media, PA is composed of vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Jared Loss, lead guitarist Will Maher, Bassist Eddie Boate (three high school comrades who returned from college with a direct intent to make music together) and drummer Joe Gruber, who collaborated with Loss at Lock Haven University. After a stint on the West Coast, Jared returned home to Philadelphia and called up his old friends to create The Real Feel.
With the benefits of friendship, talent, musicianship and a catalogue of smoking-hot originals, The Real Feel has crafted a sound that is nearly impossible to find in many of today's Rock Clubs. The band members' varied influences and musical sensibility offer something for every taste. Rock, Blues, Funk, Soul, and Reggae inspirations are found in The Real Feel's diverse repertoire. While the group's physical stage presence does not match with the theatrics and wardrobe selections of modern stadium and concert hall acts, their tonally cool, purified sound erases any need for visual aesthetics. Bringing dynamic energy out of their instruments, the band's full-bodied songs alone serve their musical purpose.
The seamlessness of Loss' song-writing coupled with the six-string virtuosity of Maher is reminiscent of powerhouse jam-bands with refined song structures, and an unreplicated classic-rock vibe. After Debuting in January 2009, The Real Feel already has made a name for themselves; and with forceful performances in Philadelphia’s Top Venues, a fast-growing base of loyal fans, and the lively enthusiasm of the band to create and grow, the only place for The Real Feel to go is up.
