Celilo’s linchpin is Sloan Martin and the songs he writes. He quit the drums cold turkey a few years back and picked up the guitar and started playing bluegrass, learned how to sing, and sing harmony too, and then he began to write and drift, and the current brought him back to rock. Damon came from Illinois and brought with him impeccable taste and vision. Kipp was a fusion junky but we reeled him in but he still sneaks in some fancy shit. We heard Dave play with Cabinessence and knew we had to have those far out spacey colors he was painting with his fingers. Tucker, what can you say, he’s the master of the high lonesome desert noir soundscape. Adam is the most versatile musician in Portland and has the attitude of a saint. This band is hot! We want to travel!
