Corn Mash is the Moscow, ID based project of singer/songwriter Bill LaVoie. Originally formed in Seattle in 2003, the band has undergone several makeovers and enjoyed success for several years based out of wild Missoula, MT. The music is a mix of mostly original rock, swing, blues, country, punk, funk, and bluegrass. But even though all music is fun to play, there's nothing quite like rock with rippin' ho downs in the mix. Tight, loose, and loud. Sweet. Subject matter? Cynical, glorious, angry, sweet, dirty, absurd…….basically, it’s diverse music for the brain and the booty with live shows heavily geared towards the booty. The current Moscow lineup is Bill LaVoie (guitars, vocals), Joe Evavold (accordion, Hammond), Matt Evavold (sax), and Bennett Barr (percussion). Other musicians are also in the stable including Zoo-towners Joel Dupree (drums) and the incomparable Aaron Anderson rippin’ all things with strings. But truthfully you never know who will take the stage since live shows often turn into “Corn Mash and friends” as the mystery guests come and go.In 2005, Corn Mash released the full-length album Another Sure Thing – a small sample of Bill’s originals – some that rip and others that are stripped right down to the part of you that hurts the most. The disc features many talented guest musicians on banjo, harmonica, bass, drums, backup vocals, and saw. But Joe's accordion and Hammond is a distinctive force. It ain't exactly grandpa's polka machine.And there are more albums are on the horizon.Life is kind and life is cruel so we shoot for both to let you work it out on the dancefloor. Hope to see you at a show, we'll be the sweaty ones up front------Bill
