Details:
The band name comes from the movie Raising Arizona and tells you a bit about the band's personality. The song styles are all over the place because that represents the band's musical tastes.

Paul plays everything he possibly can (and trys everything else) on the songs that he wrote. He built a studio to record them in because he needed the extra time to get it all right.

Meet the musicians:

Richard Putnam - B3 and Piano - is a first-call session player for a wide variety of projects. He is the pro who anchors the sound and provides the musical interest and polish to the songs on which he plays.

Mark Gallegos - Guitars and Bass - is a long-time friend of Paul's and the one responsible for him playing the guitar. He is an amazing talent and thinks very musically. Check out the classical piece on The River and the bass line on Sk8 Me and be blown away.

Kevin Pettit - Bass - is a member of Loch Ness Johnny and Delta Swagger in Columbia. He is a great player and a great entertainer. Check out the upright bass on The River - cool.

Ace Evans - Guitar and Bass - is also a member of Loch Ness Johnny and Delta Swagger. Kevin thought Ace would add a unique flavor to a few songs and he is correct! The lead on Better Way is smokin'.

Josh Todd - Guitar - is another long time friend of Paul's that just a real knack for knowing how Paul thinks. Josh is the second part of the duo that performs their live acoustic sets and is a great player, singer and songwriter in his own right.

Cooper Baker - Horn arrangements, Piano, and String arrangments - is a local session player and accomplished jazz pianist. The extra flavor he provides and guidance on arranging was a real gift.

Paul Bodamer - Drums, Guitars, Mandolin, Horns, Bass and Vocals - is a self-professed music nerd and loves every aspect of writing and recording music. He feels the only instrument he can really play is the drums and is sometimes suspect of that.
