The Lovers asked their fans to describe the music they create, here are a few of their answers:
"American spiritual psychedelic folk groove rock" -Brieann Chapple
"Psychedelic folk music. Retro pop. Festival rock" -M7
"Contemporary Folk Rock band with a conscience and awareness of the universal and infinite" -Roxann Pierce
The Lovers were born from a freaky family of friends deep within the oasis of the Texas Hill Country. In the Christmas of '04, embracing the spirit of creation rather than consumption, they made a holiday album for their families. Through that experience they decided the music should continue, and here is their first album of all original songs. Three singers, electric and acoustic guitars, a lilting flute, imaginative percussion and steady bass make for a vibrant, ever-changing sound that is both folk and rock and borders on psychedelic. Conscious lyrics complete the experience. Let yourself be loved!
The Lovers were featured on KLBJ 590 AM John Aielli's, Aielli Unleashed, check out the interview Jim Hightower did with John Aelli and listen for Lovers songs!! http://www.kut.org/items/show/11959. They have also been featured on Evolution Radio, a local show on 91.7 FM.
The Lovers were also featured in an Art exhibit called “The Activist Impulse” at Women and Their Work Gallery in Austin from October 10 - November 15, 2008. Check back often to see what we get into next!

We
are looking for people to go online and post Earthdance Austin info on
all of your favorite blogs and forums. Tell all your friends and get
this grassroots effort going.
This being the first year, it is
harder to get the word out. Please send us your email address to get on
the mailing lists, then send out those newsletters to everyone you
know. If all of our friends on here did this we could get the word out
to over a million people.
Bands and Performers, Please add us
to your top friends and put up the poster, let everyone know you are
performing at Earthdance Austin and that you want them to come out and
support you.
We are working on the new newsletter now. If we
sell 500 tickets before July 15th, we can have Kevens (headline for
Burning Man) and Ky- Mani Marley. We need your help in order to get
this done though.
Give Peace a Dance my friends and do something great for our local charities.
Tickets are still on sale for $75 until July 15th.
This
includes 3 days of camping, 60+ bands, Eco Friendly Workshops, Healthy
Living Workshops, dj's, live PA's, Fire performers, KIDZ Village, Belly
Dancers, Drum Circles, Artists Village, great food and much much more.
