THE SKINNY The members of the band Little Hercules found each other in the small Rocky Mountain town of Minturn, Colorado in 1998. Little Hercules is recognised as one of the top Indie, original acts in the US. An energetic touring schedule and a catalog of original material, has brought LHerc's music to funk fans everywhere we've been:-) Leo Nocentelli, Meters' guitarist, and founding member of the legendary Meters, (not to mention the Life Time Achievement Grammy winner) will be playing with members of Little Hercules in 2005. Back in the day....when we were forming our new musical friendships with June Yamagishi, Ron Haynes, Johnny Janovick, DJ Scott (AJaX), MCB, Greenweeds, Mars Williams, Tommy Sanchez, Eddie"the Eye", Leo Nocentelli, PNut Daniels, Bo Diddly, John Gros, Russell Batiste, we wanted nothing more than to play and learn. Nothing has changed with LHerc, accept for our new drummer Brian Loftus. Continued support from all angles of the music business continues to grow for Little Hercules. Invitations to club dates during the New Orleans Jazz Fest has helped generate both an underground buzz on the band but has also exposed to the band to many musicians who have taken an interest in Little Hercules for future projects. Bo Diddley requested to perform with Little Hercules. In addition, Little Hercules has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Soulive, Greyboy All-Stars, Liquid Soul, Papa Grows Funk, the Radiators and Eric McFadden in the year 2004.

THE GROOVE Little Hercules grabs the listener with a hearty elixir of driving rhythm and self-defined "greasy grooves". The band performs well-resolved original music with a simple message: let the groove grow from the inside out. Their harmonies will grip you and their musicianship will leave you wanting more.
