is a power trio, acoustic rock band. Whether the rich vocals and honest songwriting on acoustic guitar or the full band blending driving rock and passionate performances, Confusing Minerva's music draws listeners to everyday songs we can all relate to.The band Confusing Minerva was founded in 2004 and has an original sound with influences ranging from Monte Montgomery, John Mayer and Dave Matthews to Foo Fighters and Matchbox Twenty.CM draws from a wide range of styles but can best be described as acoustic pop/rock or indie rock.Daryl, the bands founder, uses a combination of fingerstyle and flatpick style guitar playing drawn from his primary musical influence, Austin guitar virtuoso, Monte Montgomery.Growing up in San Antonio, Texas, Daryl’s introduction to playing music began with the trumpet and performing in school concert and marching bands. An avid listener of pop radio, his idea of songwriting focused on melodies and lyrics that “had something to say”. Based on his influences, his goal is to bring taste, economy and a playful sense of timing to pop-ish songs with a rock edge.Based in San Antonio, CM has performed in numerous clubs and venues such as Rebar, Hooligans, Jacks Patio Bar, Changos Havana Club, The Bitter End, Blue Star Brewery, Tongs Thai, Martini Ranch, Ruta Maya Riverwalk Café, Orderup, Blue Cactus Café, The Boss Bar, Holdens 101, The Venue, Gallista Fine Art Gallery, G.I.G. On The Strip.CM has also performed in Austin (Poodle Dog Saloon), Corpus Christi (The Mug Room, Thirsty Cactus), and College Station (Schotzis, Zapatos Cantina).
