About Me

Angel Band makes big noise. Loud noise. Boisterous, sad, sweet, goofy, glorious and angelic. Any which way you look at it this stuff gets your attention. Whether it’s the crazy tight three part harmony, the killer backup playing, the stories, the passion or the compassion, it gets your attention. The songs on this album are mostly self-penned, weaving vivid images, powerful lyrics, musical integrity and “chops” to write home about.The core of the band is held by the three singers: Nancy Josephson, Jen Schonwald and Kathleen Weber. All are experienced on lead and backup vocals. The love of the sound that three female voices make together is at the center of this group. The chord rules the day. Both mystical and elemental when the three hit “it” the hair on the back of your neck’s gonna stand up. Working as the crackerjack backup band (lovingly known as “Chum”) are: David Bromberg (guitar, National Steel guitar, dobro), Bobby Tangrea (mandolin, guitar, fiddle), Bob Taylor (bass), Jeff Wisor (fiddle, mandolin). The difficult to pigeonhole sound that eminates from the band roams from old time “mountain” music to contemporary rock and roll influenced originals. Any way you slice it this band catches hold of you and won’t let go.

switching gears

Monday starts the recording process. We're whittling down the songs so that the CD isn't 3 hours long. We're pretty much leaving it in Lloyd's able hands to make the suggestions. Kinda funny trying to...
