Actual Proof is a unique Jazz-Fusion quartet that draws on musical traditions that have produced infectious grooves—Jazz, Afro-Cuban, West-African, and Funk traditions. The group is unique as it features Eric Mullis on vibraphone and mallet percussion. The group has been regularly performing in the South-East since the fall of 2007. In July of 2009 Actual Proof released its full- length debut CD Paradigm Shift. Songs from Paradigm Shift have been featured on WNCW (Asheville NC), WUSC (Columbia SC), 98.1 The River (Asheville NC), WSHA (Raleigh NC), and 106.5The End (Charlotte NC).

"On Paradigm Shift, Actual Proof revitalizes jazz fusion. Their music is always funky (with powerful bass playing by Berkley), but the jazz quotient is also quite high for the band constantly improvises, tugging at and stretching the boundaries of funky fusion, bringing in the best qualities of electric jazz and rock.

While each of the musicians in Actual Proof are excellent soloists, it is the distinctive ensemble sound that really sticks in one's mind. The prominence of vibraphonist Eric Mullis helps to give the group its own musical personality.  Paradigm Shift contains more than its share of variety, danceable grooves and bright moments, showing that there is still plenty of life to be found in creative fusion."

~Scott Yanow, author of The Jazz Singers, Trumpet Kings, Bebop, Jazz On Record 1917-76 and Jazz On Film

What's this all about? 

The Live Music Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing independent artists with creative exposure through the archiving and sharing of live concert audio, video, and photos made avaiable for free download or stream here at livemusicsociety.org. We connect live music lovers with the live music makers by compiling an extensive archive of live music and photos from bands we've worked with, shows we've been involved with, or exceptional free and legal bootleg recordings of taper-friendly performers.

Our tapers, photographers, and taper friendly artists share a passion for archiving live events and are willing to offer their archived media to you free of charge. However, we do incur expenses while maintaining this website. We ask that from time to time you make a small voluntary donation to help us offset our operating costs, pay for hosting, etc. If you download or stream 5 shows a reasonable donation might be $1 but you're never obligated to make one. You already have unlimited access to the live music archive whether you donate or not. To stream a concert simply browse and choose the "Streaming Audio" link or "Download" to download the entire fileset for easy burining or transfer to your mp3 player. 

Use our Facebook and Twitter share buttons to share download links with friends. This helps bands spread their music and reach new listeners/ticket buyers. This also helps to stimulate the live music community as a whole. Turning friends onto new music is what we're all about. 

Should you ever choose to donate to the Live Music Society be assured that your donation helps LMS continue doing what we do for live original taper-friendly musicians, bands, and their fans. Streaming audio and downloads of shows are free and does not require registration. However, we hope you'll join for the disucssions, email updates, and ticket giveaways offered only to LMS members. 

We're run solely by volunteers and funded through memberships, donations, and online advertising. Monies donated through our website help to defer the costs to run the Live Music Society. 20% is dispersed quarterly to the LMS tapers, and photographers on a basis proprotionate to their media contributions when donations exceed $200. This helps to defer some, but not all of their costs for travel, equipment, and the considerable time spent to post-process shows. Our remaining profits benefit the music departments of schools struggling from budget cutbacks as we feel one of the best ways to support live original music is to support it's future musicians.
