Art is a vehicle for passion, designed to connect the creator and the audience together, for even a short moment, and display a unified vision of understanding. Music is not notes on a page or sound files in a recording studio. Good music is an uncontrollable bubbling up of energy, emotion and expression, finding it's way into the ears and leaving the mind thinking - great music has both questions and answers.
Long before there were recordings, posters, websites and all the auxiliary tasks of being a band, each member of Roster McCabe shared an inherent desire and will to create and play music. Initial attempts were shaky at best (ha), but one pattern became clear - the more we tried the better it became. It is this simple idea that moves the band forward, writing new songs, enhancing performances and pushing our own personal limits until we find ourselves walking the line between chaos and harmony. Chaos is for excitement, harmony is for beauty.
In 2008 we began touring regionally and performed at some big festivals like Summerest, 10K Lakes Fest and Bella Sol at Harmony Park. What we are realizing is that this band is our means of expression, our blank canvas, and a setting where the creative process is motivated and admired. We are currently touring and working on a new album due out later this year. Please check out our free downloads online. See you in 2009.
