“Vinyl has always been so enchanting and mysterious to us in our musical journey.”
“My earliest memory with vinyl started with my brother David (singer) and our uncle Bruce. Bruce lives in Palo Alto, CA and grew up in the heart of the ’60s. Palo Alto was the birthplace of a lot of bands but most notably The Grateful Dead.
I went up there to visit one weekend when I was 15 (David must have been 10) and he sat me down from 2:00pm to 3:00am every day and showed me everything from early Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Chambers Brothers, Marvin Gaye, to Harry Nilsson, Cream, King Crimson, and much more. Every genre. Honestly it was overwhelming but incredible.
As we got older David and I started collecting our own vinyl. We’d pick up our own and share it whenever able. Some of our early records were Parachutes by Coldplay, Led Zeppelin IV, U2’s The Joshua Tree, and many more.
As we’ve evolved musically, we’ve definitely appreciated vinyl much more. It’s been a past time of ours before and after rehearsals to discuss what we’re listening to and have discovered. James, David, and Wesley are constantly exposing me to new music. With our diverse backgrounds and inspirations it’s been amazing to share music with each other.”
