ABOUT

As repetition is death, we are constantly reinventing our arrangements. We started this project under an umbrella of blue (the Lady Gossamer Blues Band), but found specific genres too restrictive and grew. There are songs that have imbedded themselves into our collective consciousness, and they define us as much as we define and reinterpret them. We play what we love and we love what we play.

If you want to play a song note for note how the “hit” was released, buy the album. Put it onto your ipod. Listen to it. Go to town. Smile.

We do. And it sounds better than ANY band that tries to emulate it. It ALWAYS sounds exactly the way you remember it.

But if you want to play something a little more personal, more intimate, more evolving… then hi. That's us. World children, fighting the good fight and trying to form a circle before we all go under...immersing our souls in love.

How bohemian…

As Frank Zappa once mused, "Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something…without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."
