...Somethin' finer'n frog hair!
Sorta like when one of the fellers sets a tumbler of the "Oh Be Joyful" down in front of you. You take a swaller, feelin' its warmth on the way down. A fine drink, no doubt, but at the same time, you cain't say right off the bat what it is...sames with the music...it's partial to Americana, folk, and bluegrass, with hints of other stuff sprinkled about.
Flood Road don't nary play live songs exactly the same. The boys know you get a better recipe by constantly stirrin' the pot an' addin' in new ingredients as you go. Check out more of J. Pete's solo music on MyMusicBlaster, to the right. Sample the music, an' if you like it, grab a copy today! Much obliged!
J. Peter Yakel & Flood Road hail from upstate New York, playing an original recipe of “Acoustic FolkGrass”: a blend of Americana, Bluegrass and Folk, with a pinch of Rock-n-Roll for seasoning. Their rootsy song mix cooks up a batch of memorable toe-tappers and eye-weepin’ ballads as varied and unpredictable as the northeast seasons.
The quartet features Tom “The Lion” King on mandolin/guitar/harmonica, Pete “The Treat” Murphy on bass, "Chief" J. Peter Yakel on guitar and vocals, and "Professor" Chris Schultz on banjo and guitar.
Tom King's music history dates to the early 80's with fret work in "Negative Space". Later, between solo gigs, he connected with Bernie Gerling in "Technical Difficulties", followed by the "Mountain Minstrels", "Big Bag and the Romulettes" and "King Thom and His Merry Men". Tom's been with Flood Road since March 2007.
Pete Murphy's thumpin' bass took root in a Metallica cover band. Later, he migrated toward jazz and blues, and put his talents to work with Capitaland notable bands such as "The Tri-City All Stars" and "Voodoo Runner". Pete's been with Flood Road since September 2007.
Chris Schultz has a lengthy music history, dating back to the mid 70's with the country bluegrass band "Schoharie Turnpike". Later, he formed the Rotterdam Junction based"Waterwitch" band. In the mid'90's, Chris formed the acoustic folk rock band "Mooncat", and has played with them since. The Professor has been in Flood Road since December 2008.
Past Flood Road Alumni include Jon "Banjovius" Belcher, and "Blueberry" Dan Johnson.
