About Me

For Etch, writing and performing music is simply in their blood. Scott and Al first met in the 90s and soon formed a band. After numerous attempts through the years with other musicians, they realized that they shared a much closer vision of what the music should be, and at that time they decided to keep the band a duo. As fate would have it, in walks Jeff, Etch's drummer, and now the vision is complete.
“When someone hears one of our songs and tells me it's touched a chord within their soul, something in the lyrics or the melody, that's what really makes this fun." – Scott Bottomley

“We write what comes naturally, from personal experience or the life experiences of people we've met." – Al Palacio“Playing music is a release to relieve the stress of everyday life.” – Jeff Siciliani

. . . Etch - A Sketch . . .
"Some music is just the perfect complement to sitting by the window on a rainy day, watching the drops hit the glass and letting your spirit carry you for miles. Such is the sound of the music on Etch's first album, 'Without Making A Sound.'"
[Bill Romanelli, Folsom * El Dorado Hills Style Magazine]
