This is THE Other Band's first CD, recorded "live in the studio" for that spontaneous on-stage sound. Driven by a desire to play our own original music, THE Other Band is three singer-songwriters and a bass player. Fat harmonies juxtaposed with compelling lyrics is what we like to do. This acoustic CD runs the gamut of styles and emotions.
THE Other Band members are:
Kathe "Little Mama" Davis - Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, Percussion
Growing up in small-town Minnesota with six siblings, Kathe started performing in her family's band in the '60's and has continued playing for the last thirty-eight years. She's performed throughout the country from mid-western Colorado and Wyoming to North Carolina on the east-coast to Alaska in the far North and now here in the northwest. Her influences range from the Beatles to early Bonnie Raitt and yet the musical styles of her various bands are broad, ranging from Rock-and-Roll in "Radio Flier" to Rhythm and Blues in "Snap" to Raggae in "Burnt Lips" which, by the way, won MTV's first Amateur Video award. Kathe moved to Seattle and began performing solo in 2000 and inevitably became part of the "Victory Music" family where her bluesy songs have become a welcome contribution to the predominantly folk-pop scene. She earned the name "Little Mama" by carrying on her family tradition and raising five kids of her own.
Paul "Logic Man" Sandoval - Vocals, Guitar, Percussion:
Paul moved out of Denver in 1971 at age twenty-one, leaving a family of five siblings in search of fame and fortune in California, and ended up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Unable to afford a recording studio for his songs, he twice started his own studios, "Madman Studios" in Berkeley, and "Midi Soundlab" in San Francisco. He joined the team of "20 -20 Productions" and later "Glass House Productions", both of which put on underground theme parties in San Francisco's pre-gentrified South Of Market district. In the late eighties he pursued a career in software development, which eventually brought him to Seattle. It was here that Paul became a member of "Victory Music" and hooked up with the "Emerald City Jug Band" and it's alter-ego "Teeth, Hair and Eyeballs", engineering their CD's and producing shows. Paul's musical influences range from "Santana" to "The Beach Boys" and is firmly rooted in the 60's hippie era. He's called "LogicMan" because ... well, he's a software engineer.
Jim "The Emergency Folksinger" Nason - Vocals, Guitar:
Known in the Seattle folk scene and the "Emergency Folk Singer", Jim Nason has become a local icon. He was on the board of directors of "Victory Music" and is the founder of the "Wit's End Song Circle". Jim is a manic performer and can be regarded as the comic relief of the band, though that is not to say that his music is trivial. In fact his songs are witty and poignant. The middle of three siblings, Jim's early influences ranged from Elvis Presley to the Everly Brothers. As a young man in the Navy he found himself pickin' 60's bluegrass and playing the tunes of Mason Williams and Hoyt Axton. He recorded his first CD, "Completely Naked" in 1999 and has since recorded 2 CD's with the "Emerald City Jug Band" and one with "Teeth, Hair and Eyeballs". He has recently recorded his second CD called "Just James".
David "Professor Ooh" Pengra - Bass:
David is a Washington native who grew up in the southeastern town of Walla Walla. His bass heroes are Paul McCartney in the Beatles era and Rob Stoner when he played with Bob Dylan. David's started his musical endeavors playing in an original-music band named "Solomon Jest". He decided to follow the family business and pursue a career in physics, and later, while a professor at Ohio Wesleyan, he played in a duo with another faculty member called ... you guessed it, "The Professors". In 2002 he moved back to Seattle with his wife and son and joined the guitar pickers in the "Victory Music Song Circle" as a bass player "embed". It wasn't long before he was asked to play in the band "Teeth Hair And Eyeballs" and recorded on their debut CD "Live at the Teeth, Hair and Eyes Ball (minus Hugo House)". He earned the name "Professor Ooh" because that was the only kind of singing he is able to do.
