Strumming strings and singing for over nine years

About Me

This is our live cut at a benefit of "WHY DOES LOVE HAVE TO BE SO SAD" Just CLICK BELOW when ready.
PRESS FOR LIVE VIDEO!
Take three different Generations, three different background genres, and then tell those same people to play acoustic music. Well sometimes I guess you get lucky. In their case after seven years of faithful practice, and song writting they have ended up developing truely their own sound. Have Over sixty original songs, and can preform over fifty covers. font Jeff - Came from hard blues background, rock, and do wop. The main lead singer and songwritter for the band. Has written over sixty songs for them in a little under seven years. Can play a mean lead on any guitar, and blues harp, let alone out of necessity is their rythem guitarist. Russ - Came from a metal background, Rock, and Hard industrial elctronica. Used to play thrash guitar, now plays a growing collection of different strings. If it has strings he will play it. Spring - Came from a classical background, played with odd end bands from rock to pop to metal before settling down with String Alley. Basically was just a violin player before these guys, and now can write, sing and play with the best of them.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/13/2004
Band Website: WWW.Stringalley.com/
Band Members: Spring - Singer, songwriter, fiddle, 5 stringed viola, cello & guitar.
Jeff - Guitar (12 & 6), Harp player, Main songwriter and singer.
Russ - Mando, guitar, dobro, petal steel, banjo, & songwriter.
Influences: Mott the Hoople, Dead, Stones, Bob Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Poco, Allison Krauss, BB King, to name a few.
Sounds Like: uhhh, well you would have to put about nine genras (Blues, rock, folk, Bluegrass etc) into a blender, then put it on full speed, then pour it out, and let it chill out a bit in the fridge.

  • Closest call would be:
  • NickleCreek meets Mott the Hoople and Poco in one long night.
  • And for you the younger audience, who are not familiar with these bands, you can say they are a great combination between the more common names of The Stones and Bob Dylan, just acoustic all the way.

  • Record Label: Flat 241 Productions
    Type of Label: None
