____One of the fastest growing names in the Midwest music scene, Little Marsh Overflow is quickly growing into a force to be reckoned with. An original Rock band, [LMO] draws on a wide variety of influences to create their own unique style of music. While the band has always been stumped when pressed for a quick answer as to what type of music they play, Stephanie Music from KyndMusic.com considers it a “progressive rock, funk jam art form.”
____[LMO] is proud to boast an extremely tight and talented rhythm section that’s guaranteed to keep people off their seat and on their feet. This solid foundation is heavily complimented by soulful guitar, crafty keys, and powerful vocals. It’s no wonder that Rick’s Café, the authority on South Central Wisconsin’s music scene, considers them a “phenomenal jam band” and a “must see local act.”
____After original members Wade Coisman (bass), Mark Weber (guitar) and Joshua Gregory (keyboards) formed the group in the swamplands of Northern Door County, WI, in the Spring of 2001, they quickly made a name for themselves as one of the top rock/jam acts in the state. In the fall of 2002 they made the move to Madison, WI and the following year recorded their first studio endeavor, “The Causeway Effect”. Later, in 2005, they we’re nominated for 2 Madison Area Music Awards in the category’s of “Best Jam Band” and “Best Jam Album”.
____Shortly thereafter, while auditioning new drummers they asked a good friend, Kai Andersen, to fill in on a couple of dates. It wasn’t long before both parties realized the final piece of the puzzle was put in place and the band has been gaining momentum at a whirl wind pace. Making new friends and fans at each performance, word of mouth has never traveled so fast about the group, no doubt in part due to the extremely high energy stage show they put on. Little Marsh Overflow is 4 individuals who absolutely love to do what they do and it shows. The band is currently in the process of completing their next studio album, while at the same time, recording various live performances which will soon be available for all.
____[LMO] has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many renowned musical acts including; Jackson Browne • Pat MacDonald • Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go's) • Eric McFadden (P-Funk) • Kim Manning (P-Funk) • Victor DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes) • The Big Wu • ULU and too many more to name.
If you haven't seen this yet, we were recently on Urban Theatre in Madison, WI and they have posted a few of the songs on their page. Here is a link to us performing "Fireflies" live on the show:
If you search for "Gladstone" on their search tab you'll see 2 or 3 of the other songs we performed.

Thanks! Hope all is well in your world, please drop by to say hello!
