The electric-Americana group Great American Taxi is one of those brilliant, rare gems on the club and festival circuit- a fun, danceable jamband with great original songs. Since parting ways with legendary jamgrass pioneers Leftover Salmon, Taxi driver Vince Herman has been writing and collecting new classics to add to his vast catalogue of southern swamp-rock, underground country, and Guthrie-tinged political satire culled from over 20 years of traveling the North American continent. Guitarist and songwriter Jefferson Hamer writes new rock and indie-country songs that recall the 6 and 12-string psychedelic twang of the Byrds and Gram Parsons. Founder and keyboardist Chad Staehly contributes literate, melodic tunes in the vintage country rock tradition. With additional vocals and a powerful big-room feel provided by drummer Jake Coffin and bassist Edwin Hurwitz, Great American Taxi has enough top-shelf material to keep even the most devoted, traveling fans wondering what could possibly come next. www.myspace.com/greatamericantaxi Read more on Last.fm.
