Cassavettes

Eastern-third-of-United-States fall 2007 TOUR!

About Me

Voted BEST LOCAL BAND in Boston Phoenix Readers Poll!
BOSTON MUSIC AWARDS "Outstanding Americana Act Of The Year" nominee
CASSAVETTES: Pronounced kass-UH-vets (like Cassanova and Corvette).
A BRIEF HISTORY It’s been just over a year since three Texan friends reunited north of the Mason-Dixon line, and added a local Bostonian. In that time, CASSAVETTES has turned more than a few heads -- scooping up “Best Local Band” in the 2006 Boston Phoenix reader’s poll and nabbing a 2006 Boston Music Award nod for “Outstanding Americana Act.”
The Boston Metro described the group thusly: "By taking the Beatles' 'Revolver'-stomp to the saloon and getting it high on jazz in the backroom… Cassavettes mosey away from the same old tear-in-my-beer twang and provide an alternative to alternative-country (Alt-alt-country?)."
With the release of their debut full-length, “It’s Gonna Change” (release date: 12/9/2006), and more furious touring to ever-growing raucous crowds, Cassavettes’ wagon continues to pick up steam. Expect your heart to be broken, but more importantly, expect further quality tunes from these debonair young roustabouts.

Band Website: cassavettesmusic.com
Band Members: Coyote Scott Jones is the panhandle slim manhandling the bass guitar and providing backing vocals.
Mike McCullagh is the crooning, multi-talented vocalist, guitarist, and lap steel..ist.
Matt Snow is the red-haired guy who plays the drum kit, sings backing vocals, and lives amongst the carparts and bungalows.
Glenn Yoder sings while playing guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, and whatever else he found as a substitute for friends while spending too much time in his room as a child.

Sounds Like: An ocean of jazz leads and country acoustics making love to a shoreline of sweet vocals, and all the fish and sea mammals can do is sit there, grooving on it. The noble sea-veterans also know to beware the inevitable daily ROCK TEMPEST, and have learned to enjoy the change in tide immensely.
