CD permanently out of stock. Sorry!

Reborn retro rock - inspired by rock bands from the 70's in raw energy and driving force, but re-born through the eyes and ears of three brothers writing and rocking today.

notes

With the authentic rock n’ roll energy of the 70’s and the optimistic drive of being in your 20’s, three brothers bound together are breaking the bonds of today’s music status quo – as Storytyme.

Storytyme is original, hard-driving rock n’ roll, inspired from decades past to bring a fresh and stimulating sound to today’s performance stage. Uninhibited by rules and limitation, every Storytyme song is a deliberate package of high-energy intensity. Unjaded and free from contemporary cynicism, Storytyme’s music and lyrics deliver life’s cup half full, challenging and inspiring the audience to embrace their dreams.

With custom artwork by bassist Phil Lewis covering every square inch of the cardboard Digipack, complete with foil stamping on the cover and an 8-page foldout booklet, the packaging on "Patchwork Quilt" is nothing short of astonishing. A return to the days of vinyl records and their elaborate covers, inspired by past masters such as The Beatles, Cream, Pink Flyod, and The Jimmi Hendrix Experience, the artwork for "Patchwork Quilt" provides a fresh and exciting visual accompaniment to the unique musical voyage within. While the music will find it's home in your car, or on your iPod, the artwork is sure to live on your coffee table to be picked up and pondered over time and time again.

With their home base in Boulder, CO, Storytyme is actively headlining many of their own shows and opening for national touring acts at some of Colorado’s highest profile venues including, The Boulder Theater, The Fox Theater, The Belly Up (Aspen), The Soiled Dove and the infamous, Red Rocks Amphitheater.

In addition to successfully building a loyal Colorado following, Storytyme tours extensively throughout the United States targeting several regional markets including Chicago, Madison, San Francisco and Los Angeles – adding enthusiastic new supporters, one fan at a time.

  • Almost as good as listening to them live!
    author: Ree

    Awesome album! I first heard them play at the Ford Ampitheatre along with the Focus Fish Flying Circus. The music really set the tone and vibe of the whole performance. Great energy! Loved their live performance. I HAD to get their CD so I can maintain that aura where ever I go!

  • Thank the music gods for Storytyme...
    author: Dale Bridges, Boulder Weekly

    "...every once in a while, we like to rock the house. Thank the music gods for Storytyme, an all-brother trio that combines '70's arena rock with '80's cock rock and '90's alt rock. In other words, they rock...be prepared to rock. If you are unprepared, we recommend strapping on some headphones and cranking up some early Zeppelin, some late Pink Floyd or anything that the Doors ever made. That should get you in the right mindset."

  • Rock On - Another Great Addition
    author: Nathan House and Erin Mannix

    Psycadellic rock meets 2007. There is so much emotion and talent in these guys. A great new album. There live performances are well worth the time/expense/experience. Their personalities really show in their performances though it is great to just listen to too. Can't wait for the new DVD.

  • Trio Rock Amalgam
    author: Nathan Maciejewski, Musicist

    Where to begin with Storytyme? A refined rock trio that seems to have found a way to blend - what they and, I'd think, most people - so very many styles of rock that we've loved all our lives. Each song, though full of new and original thoughts, possesses an inviting familiarity that makes you want to listen for more. Fundamentally, I'm thinking a Sublime, Blind Melon, The Cult, Jeff Buckley amalgamation. Take a good look around at this year's release, "Patchwork Quilt". Rcorded at Immersive Studios (Boulder, CO), offers a well written, well produced gamut worth listening and purchasing. They give it all they've got on both on the album and live performances and are worth the price of admission. Buy it. See it. Like it.

  • Furious, venue-wide, simultaneous rockgasm...
    author: Dustin Huth, Colorado Daily

    Storytyme has always been known for giving intense, down and dirty live performances that leave audiences wondering what in the hell just happened to them, struggling to breathe properly and looking for a box of Kleenex or a dirty towel or anything that they could potentially use to clean up the aftermath of the furious, venue-wide, simultaneous rockgasm. With Patchwork Quilt, the band has finally been able to capture the passionate energy of their shows and package it in one portable and easy-to-use compact disc. Patchwork Quilt conveys Storytyme's solid and complex rock and roll the way it was meant to be conveyed: tightly and cleanly with nit-picky attention paid to every last layer of sound. The increased production quality exposes singer, Pete Lewis' voice for what it really is: pretty damn brilliant.

  • Storytyme's music is raw and energetic...
    author: Brandon Martin, Boulder Weekly

    Storytyme's music is raw and energetic and takes full advantage of the minimalist approach that characterizes a rock trio. With Jim Morrison-like vocal howls, Billy Gibbons-like guitar riffs, and a bombastic drum assault that would make John Bonham raise an eyebrow... - Brandon Martin, Boulder Weekly
