About Me

MELLOW DOWN EASY - NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE!!

Mellow Down Easy is the epitome of the term, "Indie". They have been a part of the Nashville local scene for nearly 6 years, regionally about 4 years. All the while remaining an sole independent name right under the nose of the trendy and novel world of mainstream music. They have released two independent recordings ('Splendid Ms. Maizie' in 2001 & 'Brothers of The Left Hand Path in 2005), played shows all across the United States, received radio play in countries all over the World, sold thousands of CD's, was signed to Chromium Records out of Liverpool, England.

A three-piece band, you could almost close your eyes and imagine a band twice the size. Along with drummer, Rodney Russell, the trio features Daryl Dasher (bass) and Andrew Adkins (guitar), both handling vocal duties. Their music is upbeat, energetic, soulful and very eclectic. Mellow Down Easy manages to mix a wide range of influences while still providing audiences with a highly original sound.

The band's music has also received acclaim by artists as diverse as the legendary Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams, George Jones, members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and rapper Young Buck from the popular hip-hop group, 'G-UNIT' to name a few.

In 2006, guitarist Andrew Adkins was voted "Number 3 Best Local Songwriter" by Music City publication, The Nashville Scene, in their "Best of 2006 - Readers Poll" issue just underneath Marcus Hummon (Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans) and Nashville favorite Will Hoge. Daryl Dasher spends his off-time touring with country-rock pioneer Ricky Lynn Gregg. Also, Dasher has been in the studio with Jeff Keith, frontman for the 80's rock group, Tesla ("Signs", "Love Song"), working on the singer's upcoming solo project.
In 2007, after finishing their Summer Tour, Mellow Down Easy signed with NASHVILLE NOIR RECORDS. The group is now in the studio working on their upcoming record due out on NASHVILLE NOIR records later this year.

Sounds Like: NME - LONDON, ENGLAND "Mellow Down Easy takes influence from great rock and roll bands of yesterday and mixes it with a unique blend of style and musicianship that stands out and has been missing in today's music world for quite some time. Intense, exciting and highly original. This three piece from Nashville, Tennessee is making waves not only in their own homeland but clear across the Atlantic in parts all over Europe too. This could very well be one of THE bands to watch in 2007." The City Paper - TOLEDO, OH "The swanky soul garage rock of Nashville's Mellow Down Easy comes to Toledo's popular speakeasy. Somewhere between the White Stripes and soul rockers like Lenny Kravitz, Mellow Down Easy is a hip-shaking trio who lay the nostalgia on heavy, but never unnecessarily. The group's sound is inexplicably modern, but taken out of the context of MySpace, seems as appropriate and natural sounding from an 8-Track circa '76 as it does from a cassette tape in 1992."
Delta Snake Blues Magazine - BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA "The Band overall are naturally talented as performers and musicians. They have a diverse mix of sound that takes you across the platform. In their own right they are creative genius. They have the ability to write original song-lyrics and sing songs from their most inner-self emotions. The music is rooted deeply in Rock, Blues, Jazz, Folk, and Country mixed all in at times. There is a deep Spiritual/Conscious awareness taking place in their music that shows their soul, spirit beyond other realms. They have opened up a new door with a new sound that reaches a large gap of audience where it is much needed in the Music Industry today. They are going to go places as their music speaks for itself. They are refreshing. " - Peggy Leyva-Conley
