Gaslight
Drifters formed in the fall of 2003 with plans
to redefine the sound and perception of “jam bands”.
Starting their instrumental journey as the Grey
Davis Trio the band was quick to expand the musical
diversity of the original line up consisting of
guitar, bass and drums. Within a few
months of their formation they added keys and
percussion to add depth and variety to the music
and make up what is now GasLight Drifters
Taking
heed from the jam bands who paved the way, the
GLD brings influences from bluegrass, jazz, techno,
rock, latin and world rhythm and everything in
between to create an intoxicating sound. All members
of the band have extensive musical backgrounds
each in a mixture of genres.
Each musician adds their own flavor to the music
which keeps it fun for them and for their fans.
Although
the GLD has no official studio record release
yet, they have released their first live album
entitled “The Gaslight Jams (Live 08/13/05)” which
is available through their website. The GLD pride
themselves on their live shows and continue to
wow crowds no matter where they play.
With their monumental builds, tight improv jams,
and up-beat grooves they keep their shows new
and exciting every time, keeping the fans on their
feet dancing the night away. Because every night
is a new adventure, the GLD highly encourages
recording and trading of their shows.
GasLight
Drifters are breaking out into the national jam
scene and are working on their upcoming tour for
the fall and winter of 2005. Their original sound
captivates audiences and gives a large helping
to everybody's taste in music. The quickly growing
band is going to be a major influence on the current
music coming out of Chicago and the Midwest.
