Rock and Roll, as they call it, can be defined in so many ways. Hotel le Motel IS a rock and roll band! From tight bluesy shuffles, to straight heavy swishing cymbals, high fretting guitar solos, and walking bass lines. This band is still relatively young, but bringing more and more fans to every show. As a powerful trio all three members really know how to fill the space. Singer and guitarist Jason Sawyer has been playing music in this state for over 10 years and has toured with groups all over the west coast. Bass player Ryan Bassett is "the guy that can play everything," bringing that knowledge to his thumping and complex bass lines. Drummer Greg Daniels has also been in many different projects. Knowing when to rock and when to stay in the pocket is his forte. The high energy that is given at Hotel le Motel shows keeps onlookers intrigued and newcomers astounded. Rocking the Wasatch front, while constantly evolving, they are becoming a staple in Utah's music scene.
