Description:
Skytown is an acoustic guitar driven rock band from Tulsa,Oklahoma that mixes clean tones, soothing leads, groovy beats and great hooks to form an amazing sound that will make any listener want to involuntarily move their whole body to the beat. With influences ranging from Pantera, Black Sabbath & Lamb of God to Counting Crows, the Dave Matthews Band & U2, Skytown creates a new and fresh "sonic mash-up" that has very wide commercial appeal and attracts fans from almost any musical genre.
Band Members:
In 2012, Dale Crain (vocals/lead guitar), Tim Burress (acoustic guitar/vocals), and Eliot Cooper (drums) gathered to write lyrics, record songs, and play at family gatherings and house parties. After playing more and more gigs, the trio began accumulating additional members, including Jason Ford (vocals/acoustic guitar), John Edens (electric guitar) and Dave Williams (bass), to make up the now six-piece acoustic alternative rock band that is Skytown.
Upon performing with their complete lineup, Skytown immediately took hold of their hometown of Tulsa, OK, and they haven’t let up since. They keep themselves busy, booking shows anywhere between 7-8 weeks in advance, and they continue to consistently gain an energetic fan base wherever they play.
This past summer, Skytown played several major music festivals, including: Wakarusa, Backwoods Music Festival, Rocklahoma, East Meets West Battle of the Bands, the 75th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and a few smaller regional festivals. While staying true to their core members, the group often collaborates with new and auxiliary members for some performances.
