Country 8 - Country Band Los Angeles
Country/Bluegrass, Band
The inception of Country 8's sound echoes back twenty years to rural Appalachia. There, in what’s known as the ‘Tri-state area’ where the borders of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia all come together, the lead singer grew up. The geographical location provided multiple musical influences. He soaked-up his parents love for the oldies, the Southern rock and country music of his surroundings, and the gospel and blues music of his idols.
Country Music
It’s no wonder his music cannot be put into a category, nor labeled by the current music scene. Characterized by powerful vocals that range from ethereal and haunting to raw and raucous, their innovative melodies and eclectic array of styles manage to bring elements of roots, blues, and rock & roll to country, and create a soulful and passionate sound unequaled by today's standards.
Years of touring with national acts have honed Country 8's stage skills to that of consummate professionals, while his natural charm and down to earth personality keep him accessible to his audience.
His self named debut album released in 2001 continues to gain critical acclaim nationally.
