Ocean County Vocational Schools. DELICATE GROUND WON FIRST PLACE! -Ocean
County Vo. Tech-
Thursday, July 26th,
"Take some down-home, slow hard rock with a slightly heavy edge and add
some steady jams. Voila! Enjoy." -Jane
Jubilee, Aquarian Weekly-
-October 2001-
”Delicate Ground took stage in full costume dress (see photo) and showed the
Stone Pony crowd they could perform a range of music starting with solid
electric rock that slid into a couple of complicated hollow body ballads.
The band - comprised of Bryan Clayton on guitar & vocals, Rob Puri on
bass & backup vocals, and Joe Riavez on drums & percussion, was one of
few and only bands to receive a standing ovation and asked to come out for an
encore on the Stone Pony Stage.” –NJCOAST.COM-
“Delicate
Ground's guitarist did a lot of naughty things
with his Gibson and Fender, like throwing them behind his back while spinning
out tough, up-tempo blues rock and a
cover
of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile,
after which he lay his Fender on the floor near the amp and let it bleed.

The
Saint
”Since
opening it's doors in 1994, the Saint has played host to the likes of Ben Folds'
Five and Everlast. Local music is what makes this place tick however, just ask
acts like the Nosebleeds, Jezebelle, and Delicate
Ground.” –digitalcity.com/northjersey-
