RMT's original material is a unique blend of rock, country, swing, blues and funk, and has been featured on central Ohio radio stations such as WWCD 101, WCBE, and WBZX. RMT's first compact disc RMTCD was released in mid-1999, and it received praise from central Ohio publications such as COLUMBUS ALIVE, THIS WEEK, and ENTERTAINMENT COLUMBUS. The band's second compact disc RICHER MEATIER TASTIER was similarly well-received when it was released in March 2002. RMT released their third CD THANK YOU SO MUCH in 2006. All three of the band's compact discs are available at the Columbus locations of Borders Books and Music, or from the band directly. RMT performs regularly at Plank's on Broadway in Grove City, Larry B's Sports Lounge, Carsonie's Italian Restaurant, Benny's Pizza in Marysville, and the central Ohio locations of Cheeseburger in Paradise. The band has also been featured at the Columbus Arts Festival, the Grandview Lazy Daze Festival, the Worthington Concert on the Green, and at many private functions. In addition to its usual repertoire, RMT has developed a unique American musical history program called SONGS OF AMERICA which premiered at the Upper Arlington Public Library in Columbus in November 2001. The Greater Columbus Arts Council accepted RMT's SONGS OF AMERICA into their Artists-in-Schools program beginning with the 2003-2004 school year. For the 2007-2008 school year, the band will debut a second Artists-in-Schools program of American music called SONGS OF AMERICANA. (Go to the bottom of this page for more details regarding these programs) One novel aspect of the band's shows is that RMT playlists are made available to audience members, allowing them to easily choose songs that they want to hear -- RMT rarely relies on a prearranged setlist, instead structuring their show around the musical taste of a particular audience. Rich Meaty Taste can be contacted through through Mark Reinhart at mjtk90@columbus.rr.com or (614) 799-1329.
