View A.M. Session’s EPK
Using extended jams, simple songwriting, and infectious groove and melody, A.M. Session is not your typical rock band. The Los Angeles based 5-piece is made up of east coast & west coast musicians with years of experience and many different musical influences. As a result the band has created an eclectic sound that makes them stand out from other L.A. area bands. A.M. Session’s main influences include: Dave Matthews Band, My Morning Jacket, The Rolling Stones, U2, The Band, Band of Horses, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Rober Randolph, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers among many more.A.M. Session was formed by Bobby Greiert (vocals, guitar, sax) and Garett Sakahara (keyboard). Grady Hutt (bass, backing vocals) joined the band shortly after. The band began to build a fan base throughout Southern California by performing in classic LA venues including The Roxy, The Viper Room, The Derby and The Mint.With a "grass roots" approach and a strong belief in their music, the band recorded their first album in 2006 with David Newton (of The Mighty Lemondrops) In making the album, "Where We Know," A.M. Session began to find it’s "jam band" sound in tracks like "Disconnected", "Smokescreen", and "68." In the Spring of 2007, new members, Dana Diegnan (drums) and Jeff Weissman (guitar) joined A.M. Session, further elevating the bands’ musicianship and sound. Capitalizing on a new found chemistry, the band embarked on a west coast tour in April of 2007 that reached stops in Portland, Seattle, Boise, Denver, and Las Vegas.Fueled by the success of the tour, A.M. Session returned to Los Angeles and began writing new material and performed throughout Southern California. A.M. Session ended 2007 by opening up for Flyleaf at the 1st annual Rock the Block festival in Las Vegas. The band is currently in the studio with producer, Matt Green, working on a follow up to "Where We Know." With strong ties to the pacific northwest, A.M. Session plans to tour the west coast again in the fall of 2008.
