The Whybirds
The Whybirds represent a distillation of the best of rock music from the last four decades... Imagine the vocal harmonies of the Byrds and the Band, the songcraft of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Steve Earle and the sonic attack of the Black Crowes, Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam, and you're getting close to the stirring, uplifting sound of The Whybirds.
All four members of the band are singer/songwriters – giving the group a diverse range of songs and vocal styles – but without straying from The Whybirds' sanguine brand of rock 'n' roll.

The Flatlanders
The fact that Texas music titans Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock - on their first go-round as The Flatlanders in 1972 - were completely rejected by the country music establishment is surprising in retrospect but, ultimately, poetic. That each went on to have formidable solo careers is a testament to their talent and determination. Add to this their diverse yet complimentary styles - Joe the street-wise rocker...

Israel Nash Gripka
Israel Nash Gripka was born and raised in the heartland of Missouri. The son of a southern Baptist minister, Israel was introduced to gospel music and later, finding classic albums of his father’s past, he became well versed in rock n’ roll classics such as CCR and The Rolling Stones. While pleasing his mother’s wishes to learn the piano and its accompanying weekly lessons and practice, Israel discovered a classical guitar missing 2 strings and a chord book in the shadows of his parents’ closet. He soon focused on guitar and began writing songs by the time he was 12 years of age.

Peter Cooper
There are two Peter Coopers on this page: 1) Peter Cooper was five-years-old when he caught his first Kristofferson show in Charlotte, NC, not too far from Cooper's hometown of Spartanburg, SC. Something about the experience must have stuck, and from there it was on to Bobby Bare, Bob Dylan, Mickey Newbury, Emmylou Harris, Guy Clark, Eric Taylor and others who manage emotional literacy without ever seeming unduly literary. That's a tough trick to learn and Cooper's debut album, "Mission Door", is proof that he studied well.

Elliot Brood
Incorrect spelling of the band Elliott Brood. Seems to happen due to some CD databases (like the one winamp uses) containing an incorrect spelling for their Tin Type CD.
