Lumination

Denard Drew (2005-2008) and Derrick Whitt had met in 2005 at a Rescue Mission band jam. Both can play guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, blending jazz and funk sounds to their works which makes Lumination distinctive. The duo has been together for three years, playing various church events and at the Rescue Mission in Syracuse, NY. Lumination has added former Black Cactus' guitarist Michael Payne (2008) and Tim Brown (2009) on drums. Now a fusion rock band, it went on to compose a strings of superjams, including Bad Reputation, Eye Candy, Rodimus Prime/Galvatron Battle Theme, Roommate Blues, and a Cars tribute track, Moving In Stereo.
