   About The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit


FOR BOOKING CONTACT: TGLTSO@GMAIL.COM

Who?

We’re The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit. Our names are Will Taylor (vocals, tenor guitar, harmonica), Kris Dowd (vocals, guitars), Taylor Webster (bass guitar, vocals), Matt Cordano (pedal steel, electric guitar, banjo, Dobro), and Aaron Burtch (drums, artwork). Most of us have bounced around some bands around Oakdale and Modesto (Built Like Alaska, Fiver, The Puffin’ Billies), but Aaron Burtch spent damn near two decades playing drums for the Modesto-based indie band Grandaddy (V2).

What?

We’re country, rock n’ roll, folk—you know—all that good stuff we call Americana. We even won the 2008 Modesto Area Music Award (MAMA) for Best Americana band, but as far as that goes, no one really cares. Anyway, sometimes our rhythm does the Johnny Cash boom-chicka-boom, and sometimes it rocks like Crazy Horse. Sometimes it swings like the Strangers behind Haggard; other times it sounds like Ralph Mooney from Waylon Jennings’s band took a ride with some of the dudes left over from CCR, stopped to fill their rig full of BioWillie, and found that notebook Guy Clark lost in California. We pride ourselves on both Will Taylor’s and Kris Dowd’s strong, original songwriting. Kris’s songs sound like a late-night card game in a dingy shack with Merle Haggard, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan, while Will’s songs sound like Greg Brown, John Hartford, and James Hand hitchhiked to the Strawberry Music Festival and all got picked up in the same van.

When?

We’ve been at it since spring of 2005. We put out our self-titled first album that same summer. Our newest release, The Ghost of Good Manners, came out in early March of 2009. As of now, it’s an independent release on our very own Heckabad Records.

Where?

Oakdale, California. We’ve got San Francisco two hours west, Yosemite two hours east, Fresno two hours south, and Sacramento two hours north. We play a lot at a bar here called The Cow Track Lounge. We call it “the office.” We’ve turned it into a good, thriving venue, hosting gigs there and playing with all kinds of friends who happen to stumble through looking for a good time.

Why?

Because we want to hear something good—something with heart—and we know you do, too.

Is it just me that thinks DAM are disrespectful for adding a player to their comment that can't be shut off, trying to shoe-horn shitty songs onto your page? I'm sure I'm the only one.

I just put on The Ghost of Good Manners in my office. There is something about your music that just makes me want to dance, even when I'm filing paperwork, and I am grateful for that. Well done.
