Winter of 2000 brought about the dramatic entrance of Cincinnati rock band Geralds Rainbow (GR), a name conjured from an obscure dream frontman Tennis Mounts had as a teenager. Well-crafted songs combined with sweeping dynamics and superb musicianship brought the group the local and regional success it has enjoyed.The core members lead by Tennis Mounts were brought together in their high school years with a common interest in creating the signature style GR is now, and is incorporated in all of the elements of a song, says Mounts. I realized later how much I must have sub-consciously soaked up when I started writing my own tunes, They came so easily; they literally wrote themselves.Jason Coulter (drums), and Nick Franceschina (bass, and back-up vocals) rounded out the sound, bringing both a personal and musical dynamic rarely found in bands today.Described as ...commercially accessible... and Radio friendly..., GR managed to court the interest of Phil Schuster (a&r for LIVE and bass Shelby), Adam Kontis (co-owner of Moon Tree Studios), John Curly (Afghan Whigs). This interest quickly formed into a group effort, resulting in an incredibly strong, well-produced set of songs for their newest release Calling You.As the bands relationship continues to flouris with the help of these industry veterans, they can do nothing but continue their steady climb up to commercial success. Ive had one goal all my life, Mounts states, and that is to create and play music for a living. There is a plan for everything, and we have achieved so much over the past couple of years that it is hard to think there is any other plan for us.One thing is for certain; Geralds Rainbow is a band that has proven success can be had no matter what the odds. Geralds Rainbow will be one of the bands that brings about local, regional and national recognition by continuing their energetic pursuit of music.CALLING YOU which was released June 17th of 2005, pick a copy up at a show or through CDBABY.COM! also check us out at BANDSPACE.COM -- -- -- -- CDBABY LINK for GERALDS RAINBOW: Calling You --
