About Me

Jerry and Doug met at an open mic contest. Jerry won, Doug still thinks it was fixed. Who were those judges?Joe came along at first to record some studio tracks, and stayed for the long haul.We burned through the first bass player, burned out the second, auditioned a couple more, but it wasn't until Chris came home from California to fill out the lineup that we found the real power in Arms Reach!

You can buy our first album, The Live Vibe, just shoot us an email!

""The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.There's also a negative side." -- Hunter S Thompson.

Influences: Check out our clip from the Khyber show on March 31st!

This one is 'Feels Good', also from the 31st

We couldn't possibly list all of our influences! Rock music is a mix of all the bands that came before them, but these guys are a few of our faves...

Sounds Like: We'd like to think that we sound unique, however we have been compared to Van Morrison, the Counting Crows and Bruce's sound
