upcoming shows
We are Out Of Touch, The Best Of Rock-N-Soul, a 5-piece band
playing all the great party & dance favorites from the 50s to today:
classic rock, pop hits, the sounds of Philly soul, and R&B tunes from
Motown to Memphis.  Best part?  We make each song our own,
thanks to outstanding musicians who have a real passion for putting
out great music!  We have also done gigs as a Hall & Oates Tribute
Band, which feature all the hits as well as deep album cuts from
these Songwriting Hall of Famers.

Based out of Connecticut, we are available for all kinds of events,
parties, corporate functions and club dates all over the country.  We
have played in all types of venues, from bars & restaurants, to
outdoor festivals, to country clubs, to arenas!

Not only is Out Of Touch a full band, but we are also available as
The Jim & Darren Duo, with keys/guitar and vocals, or as a trio with
added percussion.  The Jim & Darren Duo will be featured on an
upcoming episode of WE Network's "Bridezillas."   Check back for
airdate info.  To hear Jim & Darren's 4-song demo, please click on
the link for Jim & Darren on the above.  Whatever the occasion, Out
Of Touch is the perfect band for you!

You're listening to Bill Withers' classic song, "Use Me," done our
way.  Please click on over to the other pages to hear all our song
samples!  

We know how to fill a dance floor, and keep you moving once you're
there!  We'll also touch your soul with the classic ballads and slow
jams from some of the greatest artists of Soul, including Marvin
Gaye, The Temptations, Billy Paul & The O'Jays.

On 3/22/07, we were featured in The Official Newsletter of the
Bridgeport Sound Tigers!  


On 6/7/06, we were featured in Play Magazine New Haven's
Uncovered section!  Please click
