For those of you who have tuned in to the wall-to-wall coverage of the Convention here in Denver, you've likely caught a few of the musical interludes. It's an impressive line-up: Lenny Kravitz, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden...

Alas, that star-studded group is only here in spirit. The NYC-based band "Ray Chew & the Crew" is the one cranking out the covers. Chew is best known as musical director for the mainstay music program "Showtime At The Apollo". He's also in charge of the music for Donald Trump's various pageants.

The big-ticket acts come later...
