PICK OF THE WEEK: Bob Davis of Tranzfusion would rather not categorize the band. The musicians play rock and roll, much of it from the '60s, but they play other music, too.
"Really good songs are really good songs, no matter what category you're in. The song is king," Mr. Davis said.
The band, which will be at the Firehouse in Salisbury Wednesday and Thursday, has three other members besides Mr. Davis -- brothers Tom and Bobby Malaby and Hank Koenig. All are from the Eastern Shore, and all are full-time musicians.
"We work a lot," Mr. Davis said. "The amount of money you make is relevant but not the reason you do it. The thrill of playing music is what's great, once you've tasted that thrill. . . We have a unique chemistry among ourselves."
Tranzfusion plays in Ocean City almost every night from May until September and also throughout the year in Ocean City and other cities including Salisbury and Frederick and in the Florida Keys.
The band will be at the Purple Moose Aug. 5-8 and Aug. 23-25 and at the Brass Rail Aug. 14-17, Aug. 28-31 and Sept. 1.
