David Lawrence has been a part of many bands, but for his band David Lawrence and the Spoonful, he primarily focuses on what he calls Roots Americana music with a little blues, honky tonk, and gypsy swing thrown in. The band started when upright bass player Gary Sloan recommended Lawrence to play with Coleman Smith, a touring violinist who was looking for a vocalist and guitarist. The two ended up playing a three-hour gig with no rehearsal and realized how in sync they were as players. They ultimately decided they needed to play more, and thus the band was born.
Derek Dames Ohl has said that he grew up playing with the band Flash Mountain Flood. Within the last few years, however, he has also started focusing on his solo career, releasing various singles, an EP, and now an album under his name. He has been obsessed with music since he was a kid, and he has memories of listening to music and dreaming of one day playing it himself as a career.
