Rutherford B. Hayes is dead is a Acoustic Silly Geek Rock Power Trio (minus the drums) based out of Oak Park, California. We sing about Animals & random bits of pop culture. The members, Chris Donlon (guitar, vocals), Jason Krane (vocals, guitar), and Wes Lagattolla (bass, keyboard), have been friends since Kindergarten. The band officially formed in early 2000 after years of casual playing.
