THE LEWI LONGMIRE BAND is myself singing and playing,
BILL RUDOLPH playing killer bass and crooning exquisite harmony vocals
NED FOLKERTH caressing and kicking the drums while whistling a jaunty 'tune
I play a lot of music around, but if it says "LEWI LONGMIRE BAND" it's these guys in the engine room. Other guests may sit in.
I've been playing guitar and various instruments for almost 20 years now... mostly backing up other songwriters. Now I've struck out on my own, subjecting to world to my own 'tunes. The calendar includes most of the shows I'm playing, whether fronting the band or playing as a "hired gun".
I was born in Albuquerque, NM and spent several years playing guitar in the acoustic jam/hippie punk band Apricot Jam. That group all moved to Portland, OR in 1997, and I stayed there when we disbanded. I quit music for a bit, looking for a "normal life", which of course proved to be too boring. When I started playing again, I figured that music is music and all instruments are more or less the same, so I'm going to try to figure out how to play any instrument I can get my hands on. By the time I get reeeeeeaaaaally old, maybe I'll be good at them all. For now, I'm just having a lot of fun.
