Influences: The Greens are in fact a Blues-based life-form. Because that's where rock and roll came from...and that's what we play! But notable influences include: Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, Parliament/Funkadelic, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Charlie Parker, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Allman Brothers Band, Cream, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Doors, The Band, The Grateful Dead, The Clash, Los Lobos, Cake, Beck, Black Sabbath, Black Crowes, and a whole lot of Black Music in general!!!
Sounds Like: ...Musical Awesomeness!!!!
Take just a little bit of all 30 of the above influences, or "ingredients", mix them all together into big ol' pot, cook them up just right and you will have... The Greens! Dang! How can those songs taste so delicious?! They just do. A totally original and unique sound has been steadily created over several years of working together, playing in a REAL rock and roll band. This tight little group is constantly cranking out hot new material, so every show will be intriguing and exciting. Guaran-f*cking-teed to satisfy!
