Area guitarists Steven Vincent and Dan Lombardi, bassist Bruce Freeland and drummer/percussionist Bradley Brown are busy players and singers separately, so forming a house band was a long shot.

Yet they’ve been Meeting of the Minds (facebook.com/MeetingOfDaMinds) on Wednesdays for the past year at the Old Key Lime House in Lantana. They play Vincent originals and a scroll of covers, from the frontman singing the Eagles and Johnny Cash to Brown doing a dead-on Barry White.

“We have go-to songs,” Vincent says. “But we’ll also figure out that we all know something onstage and make up new versions on the fly.”

Vincent performs mostly area solo gigs; Freeland freelances with artists from pop singer Jason Colannino to bluegrass band Smiley Tunehead, and Brown (who mimics a drum set at the Wednesday gig by playing only a wooden cajon) is known for his reggae artistry with Ellis Island, RhythmNation, and his self-titled group.

Lombardi is the wild card. The sound engineer for Boston’s in Delray Beach graduated from the esteemed Berklee College of Music, and has the talent and versatility to also accompany megastars from Willie Nelson to Harry Connick Jr.

See Meeting of the Minds from 6:30-10:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the Old Key Lime House, 300 E. Ocean Ave., Lantana (561-582-1889), and from 8-11 p.m. on Sept. 29 at Lantana Jack’s, 308 N. Dixie Hwy., Lantana (561-847-4158).
