Hi folks,
I'd like to invite everyone to visit my new band's new website at http://www.theidahofalls.com
There are some MP3's you can hear if you click on the "music" portion of the site. We are an L.A.-based 'California country / pop' band that tries to feature the steel guitar prominently. All the members are twentysomethings except for me, the thirtysomething steeler. We're attempting to bring self-written country (well, "country flavored" at least  ) music to a younger audience on the "indie rock" circuit out here. So far we have been nicely received and the kids seem to dig the steel, which makes me hopeful for the future of our instrument.
I'm no virtuoso steeler by a long shot, but I'd be interesed in getting some input on the music from some of you steelers out there. Two of the songs are recorded on Bobbe Seymour's old '76 Fender / Sho~Bud through a Twin Reverb, and the third one is a mic on a Dobro. Hope you enjoy! Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks
-GV

The site is coming together though I admit I was hoping the Bios had been added since they were not there on my last visit.
I left a review earlier in my thread though I am not a Steller myself. Just a lowly singer songwriter 
I will have to catch a show from your band this fall. My schedule is booked up through August but I should have some free evenings to visit showd in Sept.
Peace,

| You guys seem to have the same loose "folksy" sound and mixed harmonies that made the Flying Burrito Brothers so famous. That's the way Gram Parsons started. Keep up the good work! |

Thanks for the kind words, Tony.
Yeah Donny we're big Gram fans. Hopefully the ghost of Gram is watching over us! Thanks for mentioning him in relation to our music.
