Forgotten Space

About Me

Forgotten Space lead guitarist Kenny Withrow is best known as a founding, and current member of "Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians". Kenny's style and impeccable taste lend themselves very well to the music of the Grateful Dead. In between touring and recording with Edie, Kenny also produces, records, and plays with Rod Russel Ides, Kenny Withrow and friends, and several other National and Regional acts. Currently Kenny is the musical director for Undermain Theatre's adaptation of Neil Young's "Greendale" which is playing from September 10 to October 4. Go to www.undermaintheatre.org for info and tickets.Bassist/Vocalist Bob McConville worked the Northeast club circuit with the Electric Pheasants and Christine and the Razors before returning to his birthplace, Deep Ellum, to join Cross-Eyed Boogie, the Dead Beats, Woody Butts, Smokin' Volcanos and Minglewood as well as taking over the bass playing slot in Club Dada's weekly event, "The Dead Thing", in 1993. He also joined Kenny as a member of Rod Russell-Ides and Rainmaker.Forgotten Space has the rare luxury of two outstanding Bass players. Noted Texas Bass man Will Hodges slid over to the keyboards for this project and also handles a good share of the lead and harmony vocals. Will helped found, and played Bass for, "Mellowship", and "Whitebread Picnic" prior to the birth of his second child. After a brief sabbatical he has re-joined both of those bands as the keyboardist. Over the years Will has shared the Bass duties with Bob in the Dead Thing, Lost Sailor, and Kenny Withrow and Friends, in addition to his many other musical endeavors.Staying true to the form of the music, the band employs two full time drummers (Jerry Saracini and Bryant "Pablo" Russell). Jerry has performed and/or recorded with the likes of Phil Lesh, Rob Barraco (The Dead, Phil Lesh and Friends), Dark Star Orchestra, several members of Steely Dan (Dean Parks, Chuck Rainey, and Elliott Randall), Lou Marini (Blues Brothers, James Taylor), Mark Pender (Max Weinberg 7) and many, many other nationally recognized musicians. Jerry also performs regularly with "Naked Lunch", "The Lonelies", and "The Project". Bryant "Pablo" Russell is a classically trained guitar player, studying with Andre Segovia's protege and Dallas native Robert Guthrie. Although graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Classical guitar performance in 1993, Pablo devoted the majority of time (while still picking up classical gigs) to playing drums. Since moving to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in 1997, Pablo has been the starting drummer in original and tribute acts including Mellowship, The Allmost Brothers Band, the "Ticket Time-Wasters" (for the DFW sports-radio station 1310AM "The Ticket"), as well as doing regular substitute work for The Heat, The Masons, and Birdog among others.Rhythm Guitarist/Vocalist Scott Prosser rediscovered his love for playing Dead music after a 12 year Hiatus. After joining Bob with "Cross-Eyed Boogey" in the early 90's, Scott was a founding member of the "Dead Beats". He also spent time with "W.A.L.S.T.I.B", and "The Dead Thing" before moving on to other interests including the popular acoustic rock/blues band "Crossroads". While never really out of the Texas Dead scene, his full time return was long overdue.Whether you are a fan of the Grateful Dead or not, you will appreciate and thoroughly enjoy this band.Recent guests include;John Bush - Drums/Percussion (Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians) Brad Houser - Saxaphone (Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians) Steve Porcari - Guitar (Whitebread Picnic, Mellowship, The Steve Porcari project) Paul Metzger - Guitar (FM Acoustic) Carl Hamm - Drums/percussion (Cosmic Chimp, The Dead Thing) Oleo Polyester - Guitar (The Dead Thing, Smokin' Volcanoes) Kenny Stern - Drums (Texas Slim, W.A.L.S.T.I.B, Dead Thing)PHOTOS BY SCOTTY MANKOFF "THE CRAZY PICTURE GUY" ..
