Doesn't the world have enough "the" bands?
It does now.
First planted in the cranium of guitarist and singer/songwriter Dan
Goldberger in 1989, The Independent grew into a full-grown band at the
end of 2008. Taking a cup of pop, a spoonful of jazz, a drop of folk,
and baking it in an oven of ROCK, The Independent concocts songs so
infectious you might get a rash, in a style best-termed "pop-fusion".
A sip of sonic experimentation and improvisation complements the sound
nicely in the live environment, but never at the expense of putting a
smile on your face and the songs in your heart. Apply liberally to
the ears: The Independent is delicious AND fat-free.
