   About Who You Are
WHO YOU ARE: Who You Are


BIO-

Sometime soon you will be asked the question

Do you know Who You Are?

Echoing through the gates of the land locked island, college town of Ithaca, New York comes Who You Are. The brainchild of the ubiquitous songwriter Trevor MacDonald emerges from the dust and dirt and sprouts upon the stage delivering a shot of Indie Americana strait to the soul. Some have said Wilco, Bright Eyes, even U2 or Bruce Springsteen. We think you should decide about who you are for yourself.

This year alone Trevor alongside Chris Predmore (bass), Russ Sternglass (drums) and Jason Shegogue (guitar) have thrown down at the GrassRoots Festival, the Ithaca Festival, Elmira College, Erie’s Pepsi Amphitheater, toured to North Carolina and Back, performed live on the mammoth NPR station WNCW, jammed with roots rock pioneers Donna the Buffalo, and made many more memorable stops throughout NY, PA, WV, VA. To top it off the bands debut album is being released by their indie record label yup nope on September 9th 2008. The Ithaca Beer Co. has already requested a track from the new album for their Taste of Ithaca Compilation.

People are talking about Who You Are.

“The eponymous album is, not surprisingly, a lot like MacDonald himself: inviting, intelligent, and multi-faceted. The sound falls into the more pop-end of the rock spectrum for most of the album. However, there is certainly an Americana undercurrent that remains true to MacDonald's past writing style. The second track Your America with its rapid delivery and energetic vocals, brings to mind the Talking Heads. Tracks like these are balanced out by more roots-influenced tracks like Rapid Fire . The lyrical content too has a large span to boast ranging from the social commentary of Your America to the heartbroken Carry Me Across . This combination of social awareness and emotion seems to permeate the band, right down to the name.”
The Ithaca Times

“ The gravelly alt-country singer-songwriter lets a life time on the road and in the fields give his tunes an honest, rootsy feel that hard to find and harder to fake.”
Editor’s picks ABC News

There comes a time when you discover a place that makes more sense then any other. When you glimpse a new reality and realize that you accept what you see, both good and bad. Who You Are hopes to be a reminder of who we are in our present time and that our intentions and actions do matter and have a tangible effect. Who You Are brings insightful vocal narratives together with a fluid, americana back drop to spark some seriously inspired crowd pleasers. If the music and songs keep coming there is no reason to fight it. Take a moment to listen and you too will discover a major influence on the American music landscape for years to come.

STEVE JOHNSON BAND MAKE ITHACA DEBUT AT CASTAWAY'S

Former Big Leg Emma singer/songwriter creates new band – album in the works



Big Leg Emma and roots rock fans will rejoice when the Steve Johnson Band makes their Ithaca,NY debut at Castaway's (413 Taughannock Blvd.Ithaca,NY on Saturday February 21st, 2009 – showtime at 9:00 p.m. Co-billing the night is WHO YOU ARE featuring Trevor Macdonald.The show is 18 + and admission is $7.

The Steve Johnson Band has been going at it hard after the final Big Leg Emma show back in October. Lead singer & songwriter of the popular roots rock band, Steve Johnson is branching out, formed a new band with two of his Big Leg Emma bandmates, and making music and playing clubs and festivals, including the Great Blue Heron Music Festival, FloydFest (Virginia), Bliss Fest (Michigan) and Master Musicians Festival (Kentucky).

Playing together for almost a year, the Steve Johnson Band songs and live shows are already creating a buzz. A new album is in the works, so fans can look for that in the very near future. The band’s sound from it foundation in folk, roots rock to bluegrass, gospel funk all the way down to West African tribal laden percussion.

Besides Johnson, Amanda Barton and Steve Davis are all formerly of the roots rock band Big Leg Emma, who has played with such acts as Donna the Buffalo, Rusted Root, Little Feat, Vassar Clemens, David Grisman and The Wailers. TR McKotch (of Gahu Drum Ensemble) teaches West African drum theory, and Daniel Witherspoon sets the solid back beat on drum kit.

Co-billing the February 21st show is Ithaca's own WHO YOU ARE. The band has been busy playing shows in the Central New York/ Central,PA area and seemed to be destined for good things. WHO YOU ARE had previously opened up for Big Leg Emma in the Jamestown,NY area, thus Steve Johnson Band is happy to reunite for an evening of new and exciting music.
