Details:
The group originally formed as a trio in 2004 around the principal songwriting talents of Bob Lichty and Andrew Kreider, with Steve Martin on bass. This ensemble primarily supported the solo efforts of the songwriters, who together had released over a dozen CDâs on their own. Andrew Kreiderâs CD âFirebrands and Golden Strandsâ released in 2006 has received steady airplay and sales locally.

With the addition of Andrew Hauser on drums, and Luke Kahawai on vocals in 2007, they assumed a new identity as âThe Minor Profitsâ. This formulation has led to an increasing number of live performances, and has generated new original music written for and arranged by the band.

The Minor Profits are part of a growing movement of independent artists that defy current music industry genres. âWe like the description of Americana, and the blend of musical influences it implies.â noted the bandâs bassist Steve Martin. âAs the elder member of the group I can remember when radio would play rock, pop, soul, and country in the same hour.â

With members originating from London to Hawaii and ages ranging from 20âs to 50âs, diversity is the essence of the bandâs sound. Pop, rock, country, blues, and jazz influences are incorporated into original songs composed for the groups recently released CD âBelovedâ. The songs reflect the experiences of relationships and life, with a musical heart and a poetâs soul.
