Foxtrot Zulu is a mediocre seven-member regional rock band based and localized in the Providence, Rhode Island area. The band has released five albums and has performed over 1000 shows.^{[citation needed]}

History[]

In 1991, while attending the University of Rhode Island, Nate Edmunds and Neal Jones, high school pals from Devon, Pennsylvania found themselves inhabiting the archetypical college role of "the guys playing guitar in the other room" at the myriad and sundry house parties the institution was then infamous for.^{[citation needed]} The duo would attract listeners and participants alike, often growing into impromptu jam sessions fuelled by common interest in the Grateful Dead and classic rock.^{[citation needed]}

As time went on, the group grew organically to include drums bass and saxophone, and eventually began to fulfill requests to play at parties under the ad hoc moniker "Nate, Neal and those guys". Soon after, trumpet and percussion rounded out the septet and a musical equilibrium was reached: no members have been added or removed since. Nate (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Neal (lead vocals, lead guitar), Paul Miller (percussion), Jeff Roberge (drums), Jeff Light (trumpet, flugel horn, vocals, harmonica), and Terryston "TK" Kyan (saxophone, mandolin, vocals, piano). Brad Haas (bass guitar, vocals, lead guitar). After developing a respectable stable of original songs as well as time tested covers, the ensemble first performed under the name Foxtrot Zulu in the spring of 1993.

The band has recorded their fifth album, titled Tonight. It contains many crowd favourites that had yet to make their way onto any of their four previous releases. This includes the track "Boulevard" in a much shorter form than the live version, due mainly to the shortening of the extensive drum solo usually found between the chorus and the second verse. The album also features guest vocalist and executive producer Marc Roberge, from O.A.R. who is also drummer Jeff Roberge's younger brother.^{[citation needed]}

In true Foxtrot Zulu fashion, the song "Tonight" does not appear on the album. This is also true of the bands prior releases. "Moe's Diner", the song, does however appear on Burn Slow.

As of 2014, the band still performs intermittently. Edmunds is currently a middle school principal in Jamestown, Rhode Island.^[1]
