One man, one guitar is how Saving Damsels got its quiet start in 2005. The backdrop is your typical country song where the man has done some good woman wrong and now all he’s got is his guitar. Sitting on the doorsteps of his mobile home, he starts penning the poignant story that is his without any real reason but to numb the time he has on earth.
It’s a good thing that even heartache passes and with that Saving Damsels finds itself in a new vibrant light. They are ready to sing the soulful songs that were berthed in the darkest of times for JJ Otero (lead vocalist, acoustic and electric rhythm guitar). Accompanying JJ are Joe Pacheco on bass guitar, Pax Garcia on drums, and Chuck Hawley on lead guitar, and Doug e Doug on keyboards and they have an occasional saxophone player sit in to expand the sound. This current lineup has been rocking dive bars, benefit concerts, fundraisers, and film and music festivals all over New Mexico and Arizona.
"What do they sound like?" you ask. Let’s try earnest, sexy, honest, and all original. If genres are your thing, then please put them in the Rock Soul category. The sound is always morphing in good ways with the influences of rock, soul, country, bluegrass, blues, and latin.
In the end, the saviors say they are not special, but they are determined to take constant musical junkets. Or maybe they just like to take a break from life to play, sing, and wail.
