Fourteen Feet is a New York based roots-rock band. Running the gamut from traditional acoustic folk, blues, and bluegrass, to over-driven electric rock, the band plays an eclectic blend of music that can most accurately be described as fitting within the "Americana", or "No Depression" styles. Fourteen Feet's newly released third album, Stole Away..."The Billy Sessions" was produced by Eric "Roscoe" Ambel and engineered by Tim Hatfield at Cowboy Technical Service in Brooklyn, NY. The album was named in tribute to their late great drummer, Billy Cairns. The band's other recordings include, "Running Hearts" (2006) and, "All You Need" (2001).
The name, Fourteen Feet was inspired by the distance that "Curly" fell through a laundry chute in a 3 Stooges episode, whereupon he wise-cracked that the drop was "fourteen feet". It was also the drop from the gallows as proclaimed by "Winnie" in the Joseph Conrad novel, "The Secret Agent".
