WELCOME

The Luxuriant Sedans hail from the fertile musical stomping grounds of the North Carolina Piedmont.  The band’s five members - Mike “Wezo” Wesolowski (vocals, harp); Ed Bumgardner (bass, vocals); Rob Slater (guitar); Gino "Woo Funk" Grandinetti (guitar) and Larry Carman (drums) - are veteran musicians with experience in myriad musical genres, from alternative music to country-rock to jazz, vintage soul and rock ‘n’ roll in all its forms and guises.  The common ground for their backgrounds is blues, but The Luxuriant Sedans is no typical fedora-wearing, licks-off-of-records blues band.  Rather, the band’s deep musical versatility takes the blue soul in its music and adds an element of rock ‘n’ roll energy that celebrates taste and individuality.

The Sedans announce a change and look forward to a promising 2018! 

IT’S A NEW YEAR WITH THE LUXURIANT SEDANS! 
First of all, the Sedans want to extend a belated Happy New Year to one and all, with a special shout out to all of you who helped make last year the most rewarding year yet for the band!   Seriously, thank you - your support is nothing we take for granted and everything we cherish. 

It's shaping up to be a busy year. We have shows booked at some exciting new venues around the state - and we are looking forward to returning to our favorite places and events to…

Back, In the New Year. 

We've let the website lie a bit fallow, we're afraid.  November saw The Sedans back in The Fidelitorium to record Santa Claus, Baby with our date, Sheila Grady-Carlisle.  We've earmarked all of the proceeds from that digital release (on all of the usual outlets) to be donated to Triad Musicians Matter, a local charity designed to aid local musicians with genuine and profound need.  We also tracked a couple of numbers to be included on a proposed late-spring/early-summer project.  Again, we were fortunate in…Read more

"Born Certified" Lives and Breathes...well! 

Boy are we excited! 
The Luxuriant Sedans debut album, "Born Certified," was released last Tuesday. To our genuine shock, the album has done really well, so much so that it spent nearly a week as the No. 1 Regional Blues Album on Amazon's Digital Music Charts (it remains in the Top 5). It has also spent nearly a week in the Top Slot of Amazon's Hot New Releases.! In other words ... IT WAS BORN CERTIFIED!  Oh, the irony!
Thanks to all of you who jumped right in and bought or downloaded the CD. Your support…
