Three guys with a combined age of 79 found a decent guitar, bass, and drums, plugged them into amplification, strummed a few chords, hit some drums, UNplugged the drums from amplification, played some notes, and sang some carefully chosen lyrics into a microphone.
In 2008, Dave Applegate's cd was dropped onto the desk of a top notch record producer. He promptly threw it away, but Graham Osborne found it in a local dumpster. Also found in that dumpster was Bartholomew Escobar. Graham adopted Bartholomew, changed Bart's name to Owen Osborne, called Dave, and assembled... The Beekeepers.
Thank you for the request! I so enjoyed you at World Cafe, great songs and engery. Listened to White Rubber Room, awesome!! Thanks for the friendship, hope you see you all again, Andrea
Yes, my info does say that. But that's partly because there isn't a lot of extraordinary music out there. If you look through my friends, you're also the only band I've added. That's all due to the fact that you guys are extraordinary, and were very impressive back in Amarillo. I'd love to get ahold of your album.
