The five-piece Jelly Bread\u2014just like its name connotes<\/strong>\u2014crafts music with a sound that\u2019s altogether sweet and sticky. Over the years, the Reno band\u2019s hybrid of funk, soul, rock and country (and nearly everything in between) has garnered the band a devoted following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last few years, the band has toured the greater United States playing virtually any venue that will host it\u2014festivals, nightclubs, bars, etc.\u2014becoming a veritable headliner in the process. Jelly Bread stops in Sacramento in support of its latest album on Friday night at Harlow\u2019s Nightclub & Restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarist-singer Dave Berry first started the group with drummer Cliff Porter about seven years ago, slowly adding more members into the mix. Today, the current roster also includes Sacramento native Sean Lehe on guitar, Jeremy Hunt on bass and Eric Matlock on keyboards and organ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Berry said in a recent interview, this ever-growing lineup has shaped its sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Cliff and I first played together, all the music we played was my stuff. Since Eric joined up, he\u2019s been bringing in his own songs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the band\u2019s enjoyed the success that\u2019s come with longevity and an exhausting road regimen, he adds, it hasn\u2019t been easy. Booking and promotion takes up a big chunk of scheduling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough since we don\u2019t have a publicist like many other acts our size,\u201d said Berry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its CD release show in October, the band drew a capacity crowd in Reno at the Nugget Casino showroom, something Berry calls a \u201chuge\u201d moment for Jelly Bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was a huge hometown show for us since the room holds 700 and they ended up opening the upstairs [room],\u201d Berry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Jelly Bread\u2019s been prolific on the road\u2014not just when it comes to touring but also creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band started working on its latest album, 2015\u2019s Here, There, and Everywhere<\/em>, in December 2014\u2014but so much came before and after that.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis album was pretty much recorded on the road. Thus, [its] title,\u201d Berry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve played nearly 200 shows over the last two years and did 12,000 miles in six weeks in 2015 before it came out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They recorded songs last February at an Iowa studio during a break from shows; some vocals were done in Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band is already thinking about its next recording\u2014sort of. The days and nights needed are once again a big consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have some ideas but, unfortunately, as much as we have been working, we don\u2019t have much time to rehearse,\u201d Berry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf all goes as planned, we\u2019ll be visiting Sean\u2019s family cabin on the North Coast to start recording again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, time to hit the road again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
