FMP plays a variety of dance-able music. Our style is heavily influenced by blues, but we're more than just another blues band. We like to play music with a message, in the genre of Bob Dylan and CSNY.  We feel that music is a conduit that connects people and brings them together (plus, we just like to boogie).

We do some of our own material, but also cover and adapt songs from The Doors, Freddie King, CCR, Santana, Los Lonely Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Van Morrison, and many others. We can rock hard, and also play soft acoustic tunes, depending on the event. We like to custom-design a show to match what we think each specific audience will enjoy. Our repertoire includes about 100-125 songs to date, and we continue to add more all the time. We have even had to pull out a few requested tunes at certain events that we have never played together, and then added them to our playlist because they came out great!

We have our own professional sound and lighting systems, and we custom design our playing, lighting, and sound layout for each performance according to the setting and the contractor's needs. We typically play 3 to 4 sets of about 45-50 minutes each, depending on the engagement, with a 10-15 minute break in between. We start and end on time, and feel it's unprofessional to take long, extended breaks between sets. We are there to play for people, not hang out!

FMP uses mostly Carvin components in its sound system, with a full compliment of main speakers, stage monitors, mixers, and other PA elements. We always come prepared with recorded transition music to play during between-set breaks.

We have various portable lighting options, including colored light bars, synced lighting, and single spots. In smaller venues we utilize house lighting and add our gear as needed.


Doug uses mostly Fender guitars and amps, including his prized blue custom 50th Anniversary Strat. Most of the time he uses a blackface reissue Fender Super Reverb or a vintage Vibrolux to get his tone.






Dan plays a Selmer Mark VII tenor saxophone made in Paris, France. This is a very special instrument... hard to find, and able to put out some killer tones.




Teri plays a custom Fender Jazz bass through a G-K head and several sets of speakers.





Rob plays any one of several standard high-end drum kits (he is a collector, and has, um, let's say "a ridiculous number" of drum kits and parts). Rob also has a complete set of drum mics and uses these depending on the size of the venue.
