   About The Sans Souci Quartet
This band is the product of many inspired nights spent in a clutterd uptown apartment, enjoying the company of acoustic instruments and brown liquor. The band name comes from an old Peter Rowan story that makes a passing reference to Jerry Garcia's front porch.

"And when we first met Jerry, David said, you know Garcia lives just up the hill. I said Jerry Garica? He says yeah, said he likes to play banjo, I said you're kidding. We went up there, we walked up there, and theres a little sign above his door that says 'Sans Souci', which I think in French means 'no problem'." -Peter Rowan

WOW ~ the CD sounds awesome! Please, please, please put some of the new songs up here.
But before you do that, listen to the old live songs, and then listen to the new ones; it's so cool to hear the improvements and transformations! I’m trying to pick a favorite, but it’s too hard! : ) Keep up the great work guys!

Great job last night boys, great job!!

We love the album, the banjo is a little quiet, and Larson is little loud, what gives?

Well done, none the less!

Brutal songwriter bash, and a chance for fans to lay down their support for live broadcasting of indies in the cities.
Monday, March 2. Kitty Cat.
Hope you make it big.
