Rough Country
Afterall
Layed-back Western Swing, tight harmonies and a smooth delivery define Afterall, the only release of the band Rough Country. You get the feeling that these folks are always smiling and even laughing a bit. With a decidedly southwestern flavor they swing from Texas honkytonks to surfin' country. Sometimes romantic, often rockin', Afterall is always dancing.
Rough Country was a Country Swing band formed in 1988 by keyboardist Wendy Fitz, guitarist Dann Sill, bassist Rob Griffith and drummer Joe Kirchen. A very popular regional band, they played frequently around the San Francisco Bay Area, but home base was Rancho Nicasio in West Marin. In 1998 they recorded "Afterall" and continued playing until 2001 when other obligations drew the members in different directions.
The Players are:
Wendy Fitz - Lead vocal and piano
Dann Sill - Lead vocal and guitar
Rob Griffith - Lead vocal, bass and mandolin
Joe Kirchen - Lead vocal and drums
Additional Artists:
Pamela Forman (Joyce) - Harmony on "Afterall" and "Midnight to Moonlight"
Gary Chiappetta - Pedal steel
Larry Cedeno - Congas on "Lost at Love"
Gary Leuenberger - Additional instrumentation on "Crazy" and "Dead Surfer Girl"
Although Rough Country disbanded several years ago, about two hundred CDs were recently uncovered and are now for sale through this site. Somebody has the masters hidden away in a closet somewhere and, if the response is good, we'll press more for future sales.
