Description:
BED delves into music from many different eras in this, the group's third CD. The band adds its special touch to compositions ranging from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century. Founded by vocalist Becky Kilgore, guitarist/banjo player Eddie Erickson and trombonist/cornetist and sometime pianist Dan Barrett, they specialize in uncovering hidden musical treasures. BED's unique chemistry blends Becky's easygoing, melodic vocals with Eddie's fluid guitar and Dan's expressive trombone and bassist Joel Forbes' swinging, solid rhythmic foundation. Each individual member of BED is comfortable playing a vast repertoire of standards, but as a group they prefer to bring new life to a variety of great songs: once popular, but now less frequently performed hits, or promising works that simply never achieved much notice. |
