Band/artist history
Formed in 2002 by multi-instrumentalists Sam Potter (vocals, guitar, mandolin, melodica, harmonica) and Aaron Hubbard (guitar, keyboards, programming), the band has toured extensively in support of it's 2006 debut EP The Last Commute. A six-song collection of moody jazz pop, the songs feature Potter's smooth vocal stylings, Hubbard's intricate arrangements, all anchored by the sturdy rhythms of drummer Nate Child and bassist Matt Conlin. The band is currently in the studio preparing their sophomore follow-up, a full length LP due out by early 2008. With songs dabbling in new musical directions such as Bacharat-esque pop, Americana and a heavy dose of gritty rock and roll, the album looks to expand the band's electic sound even further. Please visit the band's website at www.myspace.com/monsoonseasonband to listen to the band and watch a promotional documentary on the making of their upcoming release.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, we play live throughout Utah, Idaho, and are moving into the southwest and the midwest. We love playing live, as it allows room for us to improvise and feed off the crowd reaction. A highlight was a three hour concert we played at the Zanzibar in Salt Lake City to a packed house. We played three sets: a blues set, an acoustic set, and a rock set, all well received.
