AG was born in the literal Bat Cave of singer/lyricist Pat Carter’s basement as an “Alt-Country†band. Featuring all acoustic instruments and a snare drum, songs began to grow like weeds in an abandoned parking lot…….. With lyrical content reminiscsent of hard ‘50’s-‘60’s outlaw country, and simple but catchy country/southern/western flavored tunes and grooves, the music began to shape up nicely. Subject matter included such heart warming topics as revenge, murder, bar-room brawling/bar-room romance and alcoholism, along with the occasional out of place love song.Soon though, the inevitable happened: Electricity. Les Paul’s, Marshall stacks, double-kick drum kits and SVT rigs took over the Pat-Cave, and the ABLAZING GRACE sound grew from “Ain’t that cute†to “Oh my God………†The music took on a dark life of its own, practically writing itself, depicting today’s world as a modern Wild, Wild West, and even being labeled by one critic as “The Soundtrack to HBO’s “Deadwoodâ€.ABLAZING GRACE IS:PAT CARTER: LEAD VOCAL///MITCH O’NEAL: LEAD GUITAR, BACKING VOX///STEVE GILBERT: ACCOUSTIC/ELECTRIC GUITARS, HARMONICA, BACKING VOX/// TOM BETTINI: BASS///SCOTT THOMAS: DRUMS
