FIVE YEAR PLAN
|
|
|
|
|
Dreaming about leaving the grind behind and heading for the
sunny tropical islands?
"Five Year Plan" is a collection of eleven songs about where we’ve been, where we are, and that sunny tropical island where we would all like to end up.
Even the CD cover-art displays the Yin & Yang of the rush-hour traffic
to the serene tropical sunset. The release of this fourth CD in early of 2012 coincides with the official 10-year anniversary of the band. The first saxophone note of the Ska-flavored "Five Year Plan" kicks the disc off in high gear. The raucousness of the title track is contrasted with the quiet beauty of songs like "Everything Changes", "Best Foot Forward" and "Only In My Mind". The album transitions seamlessly from Ska to sea shanties, country to New Orleans Junker piano tunes, and even straight-ahead rock and roll. Amy Lee and Doyle Grisham from Jimmy Buffett’s “Coral Reefer Band” again make many appearances, and Jason Roseman introduces the steel pan to the band on “Sail On”.
They say that to get anywhere in life, you have to have a

Featuring: Doyle Grisham and Amy Lee from Jimmy Buffett's
Coral Reefer Band

success to Jimmy Buffett, Alan Jackson, and Kenny Chesney. The band has
hooked up with some musical friends who jumped in to lend a hand on the
new CD. Summer State of Mind features Jimmy Buffett’s
Coral Reefers Band alumni Doyle Grisham on pedal steel guitar and Amy
Lee on saxophone. Also joining in on the fun is Judy Hyman, who found
time to play her fiddle on the CD in between tours with Natalie Merchant
and leading her own newgrass band The Horseflies.

might be, this CD will always put you in a

Tequila-inspired sun-driven fun........
9 great songs about the crazy
life we lead.
An acoustic/electric blend of country, Cajun,
reggae, pop, and trop-rock.and exciting blend of tropical, Cajun and country
styles. With Mariane
"Miyanna" Nielsen on saxophone and vocalist Hannah Freidenberg, the
groups songs have a wider range than ever before. Multi-instrumentalist
Guy Wallis adds mandolin, to this collection, while still keeping
up with the blues harp and keyboards. Percussionist Brandon Marger
continues to create smoking groove lines underneath it all. These songs
are a collection of real-life happenings, stories that everyone can
relate to. From the title track, "Tequila Inspiration", about doing
crazy things under the influence of said alcoholic beverage, to the
comical " Cabana Cowboy", a tale about a lost soul who finds his place
in life renting out beach chairs and chasing tourist girls from a fake
Tiki-hut on a beach in Key West. "El Camino Real"
closes the CD with a look a Steve's favorite spot to go and think. Its
the name of a highway that runs along the mountains of the California
coastline, and is spotted with old missions and grand views of the Pacific
Ocean below.
