Well know hits, includes âBreakinâ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes),â âWhat Kind of Man Would I Be,â and âU Send Me Swingin.â âWe are extremely excited about our deal with Mint Condition,â states Shanachie Entertainment General Manager, Randall Grass. âMint Condition is the only group to emerge during the past couple of decades who truly carries on the great tradition of self-contained R&B bands. It is a great fit because the group brings together a consistent track record of high-quality music-making with plenty of radio hits but yet has proven to be viable over the years as a touring act. Mint Condition will be a top priority for Shanachie and they will get the personal attention and focus they deserve.â Mint Conditionâs current line up features original members lead singer Stokley Williams , bassist Ricky Kinchen, guitarist Homer O’Dell, pianist Larry Waddell and keyboardist/saxophonist Jeffrey Allen. Original member keyboardist Keri Lewis is still connected with the band and sometimes makes appearances.
