Description:
A sonic stew of Southern Rock, Blues, Folk, and Pyschedelia. Cantus Gumbo cooks up great original tunes composed of heartfelt, soulful lyrics, screaming guitars, the lowests of the lows, and the most rock solid, funky, booty shakin' drums and percussion on the planet. And this all comes from influences of greats like Dylan, WSP, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, The Doors, Pearl Jam, and Elliot Smith along with hometown and countrywide friends Ryan Payne, HoneyBaked, Goodnight Nobodies, The Dexateens, Taylor Hollingsworth, Slap Shoe Fly, and The Devil Makes Three. Come see what's brewin'!
Band Members:
John Burke is the founding father who writes the majority of the songs. He the main set of pipes singing with soul and raw power, and brings down hammer on rhythm guitar and some nasty blues lead. Grey Watson is the working man's musician. Playing in a few projects at the time being, he is known for the his screaming lead guitar that will blow the mind of any music scene veteran. He also lays down some harmonica, keys, lead and background vocals. The rhythm section is made up of other founding member Cody McLain laying down funky latin and afro-cuban beats, beats on things you've never seen before, gets naked at shows, and also sing backup. Allen Rosser keeps the one's and two's beatin' on the skins with no mercy. Tyler Patton the final addition is also a founding member. Funking it out and laying it down, he keeps the low end coming through without question. Also laying down mandolin and the occasional studio track or random live show, it rounds out a mix that makes a music force to be reckoned with. Watch out USA after Birmingham their taking over the world.
