A Southern Rock Band mixed with a Blues Band mixed with a Soul Band...
Pike Station is a Pop Rock/Southern Rock/Country/Rhythm & Blues Band out of Louisiana, Missouri.
They mix several genres together like Pop, Rock, Blues and Country to make up their sound. Guitarist Ben Cordes says "Music fans today aren't like they used to be where people like only Rock or just Country. People who grew up listening to The Eagles are watching them and Bruce Springsteen on CMT.. And people who grew up listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd are now listening to VanZant and Kid Rock who also jams with RUN DMC and Hank Williams Jr. People today are so open minded about what they like anymore, so I figure why should we limit our audience. If it's good music, they'll connect with it and they will listen."
They have opened for several national touring acts such as Sara Evans, Tracy Byrd, Walter Trout, Tab Benoit, Larry McCray, Wayne Baker Brooks, Bernard Allison, Walt Wilkins & The Mystiqueros, Eric Sardinas, Shawn Kellerman, Albert Cummings, Michael Burks, Charlie Love & The Silky Smooth Band, Monte Montgomery, Virginia Coalition, Head East, Eddie Money, Molly Hatchet, and The Kentucky Headhunters. They were featured on KSDK News Channel 5s Summer Concert Series, and have been featured several times on 88.1FM KDHX in St. Louis, MO. Their song The Future was ranked 16 on "The Best Songs of 2005" on "Medication With Pat Wolfe" on KDHX.
Pike Station started when Benjamin Cordes started writing songs while in college in St. Louis. Soon enough, he had enough songs to fulfill a dream of having an original music recording. With the help of his brother Tony, cousin Jason Shireman, and his uncle Jeff Davidsmeyer, the recording sessions started in 2003 and a year later "Everything In Between" was finished.
The guys played out for a while, changed the line-up around and then took a break but now with the addition of St. Louis bassist Sean Holland, the band plays out as a trio and sometimes a Guitar and Drums Duo. People question how the duo will sound sometimes without a full band behind them, but as soon as they start playing they are scratching their heads asking....how do they get that much sound with just two guys?
Outside of playing in Pike Station, Tony and Ben play in their Dad's band Country Soul
Plans for recording a 2nd studio album have started. The band has written quite a few songs and are currently in the pre-production process.
Guitarist/Singer Ben Cordes says, "We will definately keep musical integrity and the concept of recording songs that people will relate to the focal point."
