The Sermon! is primarily an instrumental, Hammond B-3 organ-driven group influenced by the stylings of Grant Green, Lonnie Smith, James Brown, Soulive, Bill Withers, MMW, and others. Climactic live performances are a staple to the band's high energy stage presence. The Sermon! has been playing together throughout the north east since their debut performance backing the legendary Papa John Defrancesco in 2005, and recently released their third studio album 'Get In' in September 2012.
