2007 San Diego Music Award Winners for Best Jazz Album
(nominated in 2008), ON THE ONE walk alongside live acts such as Karl Denson
Trio and the Greyboy All-Stars when it comes to export music from America's
finest city.
The name ON THE ONE comes
from both Prince and James Brown.
Both
singers have been known to say, “ON THE ONE” meaning “everyone in the band drop
in on the first beat…on the ONE.”
Their debut album “Love Addiction” was recently picked up by
the Japanese label, P-Vine, through a licensing deal with Velour (Soulive /
Kaki King).
2008 will see ON THE ONE
touring
North America and the
Far East
in support of their record.
Drum King John Staten
(Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe) teamed up with long time friend and sax
aficionado Jesse Molloy (Giant People) to create ON THE ONE in the summer of
2006.
Bassist Andy Irvine (Giant People)
and the addition of guitarist Pete Lombardo square this funky soul rock
quartet.
The band was handpicked to
support Earth Wind & Fire, summer 2008.
While touring with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe OTO drummer
John Staten opened for an entire tour supporting the Allman Brothers.

with John playing their encore at Red Rocks in Golden, CO.
With music industry heavy hitters calling him
one of the best drummers in the business, Staten’s hard hitting hip-hop beats
drive ON THE ONE’S sound.
