   About Small Reactions

Small Reactions attempt to merge a vintage rock sound with a modern approach and style. Influences in rock, jazz and alternative country all permeate the music, each finding its way into the ever evolving sound. As fans of everything from The Dead, the Who, and Miles Davis, all the way to Television, Phish, and Yo la Tengo, the band seeks to combine such diverse influences to mold their sound. Truly, the music is as diverse and varied as its influences. Centered on a strong sense of melody and rhythm, and with each instrument complimenting one another, the songs are always a collaborative effort both on stage and on record.

Comprised of Clinton Callahan (bass/vocals), Scotty Hoffman (guitar/vocals), Sam Jacobsen (piano/vocals), and Sean Zearfoss (drums), the band has been building a following with an energetic and memorable live show. Always in the moment, they seek to find a balance between tight composed structures and extended, improvised jams. Catchy melodies, longs winding jams, and a hint of experimentalism are all there, and always piece together to create something worth watching. Setlists, like the songs themselves, are always different, helping to make each show unique and interesting. Come hang out sometime. You won’t be disappointed!

Next local show on Friday, July 11th @ Three Bears Cafe. Hope to see you there!!

You guys were ridiculous @ Three Bears. You looked and sounded great! Because Sean is a little to attractive.
Sarah





May 10 2008 11:13 PM

So I think...

1. You guys should play at Cool Beans again sometime soon. I admit, I haven't yet been to one of your performances there, but I have been beginning to love that place more and more and it'd be just yeah...awesome.

2.
I believe I remember something about you guys one time playing a cover of the Doors' Soul Kitchen??
Kara





May 7 2008 11:08 AM

How goes it with you?

Designs coming very soon boys, now that the art show is over.

Good luck at your show that's commin' up! I wish I could be there!

Apr 18 2008 12:03 PM

Totally understand about the recording - we wanted to record in Poiema, and it was so hard getting the time, and the funds together to do something we would really be proud of... hey, all in time.
Just enjoy yourselves - we'll keep enjoying what we hear!

Apr 13 2008 2:42 PM

Yeah... we really liked the warehouse, it was just one of those nights... prolly our worst show ever, so im glad you guys were not there! It was embarrassing... not many people watched, and every piece of equipment that could mess up, did... lol... but im sure it will be better when we play with you guys there... maybe more people will be into our style of music...
