Laidback has defined a sound all their own by cleverly blending elements of funk, jazz, rock, soul, and improvisational jam. Laidback has been compared to bands such as The String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, Moe, G Love and Special Sauce and Galactic. It all started out with Brett Whitson, Brad Hodson, Garrett Wilhelm and the Hodson basement. The three began their musical career playing music that could only be desribed as laidback. They wove their way in and out of local dives and clubs by way of open mic nights until they scored a weekly residency at The Cincinnati Cafe in Reston, Va. This weekly gig would be the start to all that will come. In steps Brian Raubacher. Brian had spent the last year as a solo artist at the same open mics Laidback did, just never on the same night. Brian happened to be at the very first Cincinnati Cafe show, and soon after joined the band. It was there that Laidback built their following and earned enough money to cut their first record "The Birdfoot Sessions." Two years after playing together as a foursome, Laidback's long time friend/session player on Drums, Dave Adams, joined the band adding a whole new layer of rich, rythmic energy. Now, as a fivesome with two albums, Laidback is ever progressing foward their own unique style, and its about time you experienced it
