The roots, although a bit twisted, have grown together quickly in just two years. Way back in '01, Shannon and Dave started a band in Alabama called The Blue Hooptie Revival. The Blue Hooptie Revival was one of several musical outlets - each were playing with a number of excellent pickers. The lure of Colorado and a leap of faith brought Dave in '04, while Shannon continued with performing with The Distant Cousins (and played a steady live TV show that was sponsored by the local feed lot!). Prior to moving to Colorado, Jon Bross played in an 8-man groove band called UP before joining an even larger band, Gyration, a brass and funk disco revival (stage name, Papa Rocks). Dave and Jon started jammin and booking shows, playing with a number of local musicians at a regular venue, the Front Range Barbeque in Colorado Springs. Shannon escaped Alabama for a 10-day vacation, for which Dave booked a heavy schedule of gigs. By trade, Shannon is a fine goldsmith, and interviewed with a local high-end jeweler. Shannon took their offer and moved the Rockies. The musical fire that existed between Shannon and David in Alabama was rekindled and the three of them are pulling influences from any and all music that is great. Upcoming Shows: |
