THE WESTERN WIZARD BAND w/ THE ACCIDENT THAT LED ME TO THE WORLD
Saturday, March 22, 2008

Kristin Andreassen (Uncle Earl, Sometymes Why), Laura Cortese (Halali), Tristan Clarridge (Crooked Still), Lissa Schneckenburger (Halali), Corey DiMario (Crooked Still), Matt Heaton, Rushad Eggleston (ex-Crooked Still) and Chris Merenda (Mammals)

FEATURE - THE WESTERN WIZARD BAND

The Western Wizard Band is
Rushad Eggleston (who plays like a Tasmanian tornado devil plus a falcon plus a wild ferret) on cello and vocals.
Gabriel Cazes (who is like animal from the muppets plus a consistently biting cobra of doom plus a soaring prehistoric bird) on simultaneous drums and keyboards.
They play original motivational friendly songs from mythical lands.
His cello is so vivid, whether swaggering merrily, like a drunken bear, or pumping dark, threatening drones. . . . The importance of what Eggleston is doing can hardly be overstated. He is inventing a new way of hearing and playing cello.
The Boston Globe

. . . Eggleston does things with a cello that one could argue were never intended by man or nature, displaying a decidedly rock sensibility onstage.

OPENER - THE ACCIDENT THAT LED ME TO THE WORLD

"Creating well within the limits of bluegrass, Americana and folk music yet haunting the edges of definition, "The Accident that Led Me to the World" sails across choppy waters, rising and falling on waves of obscurity. Reminiscent of church choirs with voices aloft and abound high roofed chambers, melodies resonate strong, left to echo until finally - gone! The band's recordings, engineered and produced
by Jerry Fels, attempt to capture these fleeting moments track by track; however, always secondary to experiencing the music live. "The Accident that Led Me to the World" employs strictly acoustic
instrumentation, alternating frequently between guitar, banjo, clarinet, upright bass, strings and close vocal harmonies; generally, one could label the group as Modern Folk Music."

"The Accident that Led Me to the World" is

Zack Ciras -
arrangement, upright bass, guitar and vocals

Mark Mandeville -
songwriter, guitar, banjo and vocals

Raianne Richards -
arrangement, guitar, clarinet and vocals
