In the Erie/Edinboro area, Greg Ropp is a rock legend. No one who has ever heard him could easily dismiss that.
The new incaranation of his band 5 Empty Chambers is brilliant.
Multi-talented Jack Dearborn is a refreshing wave of cool water on a hot day.
As of Fall 2003 they are on tour in Western PA. I encourage everyone that can to see them live. New albums are imminent, but the experience of a live 5 Empty Chambers performance is like a revival meeting deep in the bible belt - impossible to describe to someone who hasn't shared the experience firsthand.
If you are the agent of a venue I implore you to keep them touring into the extended future. They have the potential to revitalize not only the local music scene but music on a national scope.
These men live to play. They come to play and they play as if it were the last night of the world. Contact Greg Ropp at WWW.GREGROPP.COM. Film is available to those interested in taking a closer look before booking.
Southern-Fired Grunge? That's how some have described them. Guerilla shifting of the modern rock paradigm. Genre-crossing, generation-bridging, unabashedly pure music that speaks to every member of a crowd on a personal level. Their previous album Wasted & Spent was a truly magnificient first album. I can only guess what will come in the years to come.
Not easily forgotten. And not the amateurish cover-band cliche you see all-too commonly. Original music from men made to make music. Not easily forgotten.
5 Empty Chambers isn't going away.
