   About Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang
Nate Gibson recently finished writing a book about the history of Starday Records, country music’s largest and most successful Golden Era independent label, and the music has truly worn off on him. Much like Starday Records, whose slogan was “Preserving Our Nation’s Musical Heritage,” so too are Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang. Whether they’re playing ‘50s East Texas style honky-tonk, Memphis rockabilly, western swing, hillbilly boogies, bluesy yodels, Bakersfield ballads or any other genre under the mighty “Americana” umbrella, Gibson and the boys take a scholarly approach to their repertoire of highly energetic hillbilly bop and bad joke telling.

Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang were a fixture of the New England honky-tonk scene for eight years (2001-2009), playing festivals and clubs anywhere traditional country music, honky-tonk and/or rockabilly was heard. In 2006 Gibson and the Gang signed with Cow Island Music, becoming labelmates with the Starline Rhythm Boys, the Dixons, Preacher Jack, Arty Hill, Li’l Mo and the Monicats and several other top national acts keeping the good sound alive. In August of 2009, Gibson moved to Bloomington, Indiana to further his studies at Indiana University, though the band still reunites to play festivals and the occasional New England club date.

The Gang’s latest masterpiece, All the Way Home, was the result of Nate’s five years of research into Starday Records and was dedicated to his friend Don Pierce, Starday President and Co-Founder. Pierce recorded the album’s introduction and outro and even wrote the liner notes just two weeks before his passing in April of 2005. During his reign as Starday President, Pierce played a pivotal role in country music history, jumpstarting the careers of George Jones, Dottie West, Willie Nelson, Roger Miller and countless others, as well as reviving the careers of Cowboy Copas, Red Sovine and Johnny Bond. In addition to Don’s musings, All the Way Home also features covers of several Starday tunes including ‘My Heart Gets Lonely’ by Eddie Skelton, Sleepy Jeffer’s ‘My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now’ and Wayne Raney’s anthemic ‘We Need A Whole Lot More of Jesus (And A Lot Less Rock and Roll).’ Of course, several Gibson originals appear such as ‘Don’t Wait,’ ‘The Trolley Tour Boogie,’ ‘Ol’ Roy,’ and ‘My Big 18’ among others. Also included is the title track, a cover of Spinal Tap’s first written song, a rousing rendition of Merle Travis’ ‘Divorce Me C.O.D.’ as well as Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith’s barnstorming boogie ‘Who Shot Willie.’ The recordings were made and mixed at Appleman Studios in Stoneham, MA by Chris ‘Cujo’ Cugini (Blizzard of ‘78, Anastasia Screamed) with additional recording by Phil Aiken (Buffalo Tom, Phil Aiken Army) and Clyde Beavers (Mercury-Starday recording artist)!

Featured musicians on the record include: Nate Gibson, Jeffrey Herring (Two Timin' Three), Jon Johnson (Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys, Bourbonaires) and Tommy Long (Dogmatics, Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys). Also in attendance to help rock the masses were Rich Gilbert (Frank Black, the Blackstone Valley Sinners, Human Sexual Response, Zulus) on steel guitar, Steve Toebes (Bombastics) on piano, Lynette Lynker's sweet vocals (Stumbleweeds, Country Bumpkins), Travis 'Daddy-O' Quam (Wal-Mart Three) and his amazing melodica, and Kevin Stevenson's not-so-sweet vocals (Shods). All the Way Home, is available for a measly $12 US dollars + $2 shipping (within the US). Click the buy it now Paypal button above to start the fun!!

Furthermore, if you don’t already have the Gashouse Gang's self-titled debut, you are missing out on a slice of New England country music history. Aside from the Gang’s usual raucous honky-tonk, you’re also treated to two songs with New England country music legend Rex Trailer (host of Boomtown, New England’s own Saturday morning cowboy television show) as well as two ditties with Starday recording artist and King of the Yodelers, Kenny Roberts!!! Recorded and mixed by engineering wizard Rob Lowe in Boston, MA, the debut disc includes Gashouse classics such as ‘An Immaculate Confection (The Necco Song),’ ‘The King of the Yodelers,’ ‘She Won't Wear A Bra (Cause She Don't Need It),’ ‘I Can’t Sell My Broken Heart On eBay,’ ‘I Don't Need Liquor For A Good Time (I Need Liquor To Survive)’ as well as five other Nate Gibson originals with long titles.

The debut release features Gibson, Tom Umberger (Racketeers, Kim Lenz, Stumbleweeds) on lead guitar, Dana Stewart (Racketeers) keeping the beat, and our beloved Jon Johnson on upright bass. Special guests include Chris Toppin (Fuzzy), Liam Crill (Kings of Nuthin'), Chris Debarge (The Curses, Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys), Phil Aiken (Buffalo Tom, Crown Victoria, Phil Aiken Army) and several more! You can buy it right here for only $12 + $2 (shipping) and you don't even need a Paypal account! What a bargain!

To purchase either album, you can simply click on the album buttons below each album icon below, or you can visit http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/nategibsonatgg . Individual Gashoue Gang tracks can also be downloaded on iTunes. If you are looking to book the Gashouse Gang for your club or private function, please send a message through myspace and someone will get back to you shortly. An extended bio, full press reviews, promotional photos and setup requirements are available upon request. Further, Nate's website (www.nathandgibson.com), designed by Garet McIntyre, is now up and features all sorts of things related to the Gang and their merchandise as well as details on Nate's Starday book: The Starday Story-- The House That Country Music Built. Heck, you'll even be locked in to the 101 Pirate Jokes jokebook goings ons, Trolley Life and everything else Gashouse-related.

And while you're at it, why not buy 101 Pirate Jokes as well? Only $4 + $2 (shipping) on its own, or you can just add $4 to your CD order for both! It'll make you laugh. It'll make you cry. It'll make you want your $6 back! Over 96 witty pirate jokes (and about 17 which leave something more to be desired) written by Nate Gibson and Tim Barney and illustriously illustrated by Bradley Smith. ARRR, matey, put it in the bag!

What They Are Saying About Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang:

“The terms ‘renaissance man’ and ‘honky-tonk singer’ don't often describe the same person, but both fit Nate Gibson. As frontman for his throwback country band, Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang, the Kansas-reared transplant is one of the leading lights of Boston’s emerging honky-tonk scene.” – Christopher Blagg, Boston Herald

“The music has a hard-core, classic country feel, with upright walking bass lines, snappy acoustic guitar and pedal steel licks, and a dusty old-West feel in the steady rolling rhythms.” – Sarah Rodman, Boston Herald

“It’s a good, tongue-in-cheek, shit-kickin’ (can I say that?) album, and it needs to be in everyone’s party CD collection to liven things up. The most perverse song is ‘Immaculate Confection.’ It's about Necco wafers and the factory over in Cambridge. Why perverse? These guys take an unnatural interest in the damn wafers. I’ll be the first to coin the phrase... the name of Nate and the boys’ music... NECCOBILLY.” – Mike Loce, The Noise

“The intimate setting was transformed by the Gang’s relentless vigor. They rock the way Elvis used to, before all those peanut butter and banana sandwiches.” – Fred Chao, What's Up Magazine

“Country Music is dead. Nashville killed it. But wait! Here comes Boston, the country-rockabilly capital of America, to save the genre from itself, with local boy Nate Gibson (Boston by way of Kansas) leading the charge.” – Paul McMorrow, Weekly Dig

“Every so often, peripheral liner notes reveal the essence of an album. Take what Nate Gibson says about the song “My Big 18”: ‘OK, kids, this is the last song. Time to gather ‘round the campfire for this one. We’re gonna have a happy, hand-clapping hoedown jamboree old-time get-together barn dance sing-along hootenanny truck-driving jubilee-type thing. Sing along!’ That's an accurate description of this entire album.” – Brian T. Atkinson, Country Standard Time

“Hailing from Boston, the group is what I would describe as a Rockabilly friendly Country act. You know, upright slapped bass, the right dance grooves… Sounds like Boston is still a fun place!” – Marc Bristol, Blue Suede News

Thanks so much for stopping by and please come see us soon!
