the band is sounding fantastic - chaotic harmonic precision - the real 21st century all-ages folk sound. when you come to a show you'll be singing along and dancing with colin brooks, john foti, elena moon park, father goose, saskia sunshine lane and our latest addition to the family sonia de los santos. debbie harry, suzanne vega, lou reed, sheryl crow, nick cave, natalie merchant, the five blind boys, sister carol and bob weir have all joined us on the cds.
Influences
i like music that sounds like people in a room whooping it up. these days i'm inspired by anyone who's singing and playing for the fun of it all.
i learned to ice skate in canada and started listening to leadbelly at the age of 6 when we moved to new hampshire. my teenage years were spent listening to "the golden great 98" oldies radio- songs of the 50's and early 60's. i squandered my early adult years playing in a garage band called the del fuegos. this is the best musical time of my life. i play 21st century all-ages folk music!
nice to meet you in memphis. thank you for bringing your zanesville project to our city. watoto de africa is always a moving experience, and so much fun for the kids!
