Informed by old school soul, funk, and jazz, The Sermon! is a funky quartet from the borough of West Chester PA. Taking their name from the classic Jimmy Smith record, The Sermon! plays "new standards" influenced by the soul jazz greats from the '60's and 70's, classic R&B performers, and pop music from the 60's to the present. Climactic live performances are a staple of the band's high energy stage presence. The Sermon! has been playing together throughout the Northeast since their debut performance backing the legendary Papa John Defrancesco in 2005 and are currently supporting their 2012 release, 'GET IN', as a follow-up record to their 2011 self-titled LP
