THE Other Band / Hounds@Bay
 
THE Other Band
"Pop-Folk with Blues Attitude"
 

THE Other Band is three singer-songwriters and a bassist consisting of veteran musicians James "The Emergency Folksinger" Nason on vocals and guitars, Kathe "Little Mama" Davis on vocals, guitars and mandolin, Paul "Logic Man" Sandoval on vocals, guitar and percussion, and David "Professor Ooh" Pengra on fretless bass. If it's listening pleasure you're after, it doesn't get any better than the powerful harmonies, always interesting and often moving lyrics, and tight instrumentation of this all-original quartet.

Jim Nason / Steve Peterson / Larry Baumgartner

3 guys born wrong

1 common mission since childhood...
-To associate themselves with something, anything that would make girls want to talk to them
- To play Guitar ...
and now finally they're old, old enough
- To play the blues (they sure are)

Victory Review, Peggy Sullivan
"Three men, three hats, three shades of howling and growling."

The RooTsters

Singer-Songwriters

The RooTsters are Alan Kausal and Stanislove, singer-songwriters in the folk-blues tradition who blend American acoustic- and pop guitar styles into intimate conversations, edgy rants, and suspiciously improbable tales. The result is our own special blend of acoustic music that pays respect to the famous American artists who influenced us and all the forgotten immigrants who came before.

Matt Price doesn't have the patience to write a screenplay.

You'll walk away with images that will stick for a lifetime. And a nearly-full tub of popcorn...
