Larry Holmes, the Easton Assassin, has returned to the music scene, and he's bringing his band, Marmalade, with him.
The band, started toward the end of Holmes' successful career in the world of heavyweight boxing, had been out of commission until last year. Since then, the group has played several area events, including this year's Easton Heritage Day.
Marmalade, fronted by singers Holmes and JoJo Harris, jams through funk and soul classics such as Teddy Pendergrass' "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose," Ben E. Lee's "Stand By Me," and the Commodores' "Brick House," but also has developed a handful of original songs.
Members' roles:
Larry Holmes -- vocals
JoJo Harris -- vocals
Curtis Green -- drummer, vocals
Eddie Pope -- bass, vocals
Nate Dennis -- saxophone, vocals
James Hummel -- keyboard
Cullen Jurkovich -- lead guitar
Eddie Smith -- sound
