Angel Band makes big noise. Loud noise. Boisterous, sad, sweet, goofy, glorious and angelic. Any which way you look at it this stuff gets your attention. Whether it’s the crazy tight three part harmony, the killer backup playing, the stories, the passion or the compassion, it gets your attention. The songs on this album are mostly self-penned, weaving vivid images, powerful lyrics, musical integrity and “chops” to write home about.
The core of the band is held by the singers: Nancy Josephson, Alison Paige, and Kathleen Weber. All are experienced on lead and backup vocals. The love of the sound that three female voices make together is at the center of this group. The chord rules the day. Both mystical and elemental when the three hit “it” the hair on the back of your neck’s gonna stand up.
Working as the crackerjack backup band (lovingly known as “Chum”) are: Bob Taylor on bass, Christie Lenee on guitar and Marc Moss on drums, guitar, mandolin and accordion.
The difficult to pigeonhole sound that emanates from the band roams from old time “mountain” music to contemporary rock and roll influenced originals. Any way you slice it this band catches hold of you and won’t let go.
Thank you for sending chills up my spine with your awesome harmonies last night in Jim Thorpe! You and your whole band radiate positivity (even with your 'mean song', King of Nothing, Nancy!) Thank you for sharing your gifts of music!
yeah, the midnight jam was the highlight of the whole festival. truly amazing music for 3 hours! looks like that video is quite popular! i bet it gets 200 hits before the end of the day!
