Geronimo [CD], Shane Smith & the Saints, CD

Shane Smith and the Saints unleash a spirited, four-harmony sound every night that music fans can't quite put their finger on but for which they have no trouble putting their hands together. Hints of folk, rock, country and Americana all shine through a driving, rootsy fiddle beat stew that's connecting with students, hipsters, bikers, roughnecks, indie rockers and songwriter buffs at every stop. Their sound starts with Shane's smoky rich voice out in front of songs that connect on many levels. Rooted on stage to Shane's left you will find Kentucky fiddle player and long-time friend Bennett Brown. Guitarist Tim Allen, Chase Satterwhite on bass and Bryan McGrath on percussion provide the soaring leads and back beat.
