.................. One man, one guitar is how Saving Damsels got its quiet start in the spring of 2007. The backdrop is your typical country song where the man has done some good woman wrong and now all he's left with is his guitar. Sitting on the doorsteps of his vacant home, he starts penning the poignant story without any real reason but to numb the time he has on earth. He scribes song after song laden heavy with the sadness that only exists in utter loneliness. But with musical expression came relief and a renewed hope in life..... Shift to today and 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 vocals, rhythm guitar). Accompanying JJ are Joe Pacheco on bass guitar, Pax Garcia on drums, Chuck Hawley on lead guitar, and Doug Bellen on keyboards. 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 with their sound always morphing in good ways with the influences of rock, soul, country, bluegrass, blues, and latin. .... 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..... ..

Bio:

In the spring of 2007, one man strapped a guitar across his chest and sparked the creation of the band Saving Damsels. Sitting on the doorsteps of his vacant home, he penned a poignant story of how he wronged a good woman and is left with only his guitar and numbness inside. However, what began as a sequence of songs laden heavy with sadness and utter loneliness progressed to relief and new hope in life that can only come with true musical expression.

Today Saving Damsels finds itself in a vibrant, rejuvenated light. The soulful songs which JJ Otero (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) berthed in the darkest of times have now gained the accompaniment of four other talent musicians: Joe Pacheco (bass guitar), Pax Garcia (drums), Chuck Hawley (lead guitar), and Doug Bellen (keyboards). Together, Saving Damsels rocks dive bars, benefit concerts, fundraisers, and film and music festivals throughout New Mexico and Arizona.

Saving Damsel’s music can be described as earnest, honest, and all original. They break the mold of the typical with their sound always morphing under the influences of rock, soul, country, bluegrass, blues, and Latin.

Fans of Saving Damsels are not shy about expressing enthusiasm for the band’s music. The song “Reservation Boy” has been called haunting and soulful, and “Indian Girl” and “Money Changer” are fan favorites. At a recent Albuquerque venue, Low Spirits, the crowd reacted with favorable zest. According to PaulE, a Concerts4Cures.com promoter,"...saving damsels are one of the best bands in burque and they're killin it at low spirits! such great tunes written by jj and the band!..." Other fans describe the performance as “Awesomeness!” and stated, “Saving Damsels rocked the house!” Saving Damsels truly demonstrates a distinct style and voice which has the ability to please audiences and collect a loyal fan base.
