Alt-Country, Folk, Rock, Acoustic - a sound like James Taylor and Neil Young driving down the lost highway with Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan in the back seat, while listening to a mix tape - oh, and the car probably has a Beatles bumper sticker.

Introducing:
The Spirit of Ontario
“A sound like James Taylor and Neil Young driving down the lost highway with Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan in the back seat, while listening to a mix tape - oh, and the car probably has a Beatles bumper sticker.”
John Sacheli – Vocals, Guitar Matt Klock – Bass Guitar Joe Myers - Drums
“The Spirit of Ontario” is a Rochester, NY, based band that is built around the acoustic, singer-songwriter style and honest vocal delivery of John Sacheli.
Their debut album, "Simple Things," is a lyrically loaded collection of acoustic songs that documents the beginnings of the band and life in the middle class.
While keeping their acoustic roots in the forefront, the three musicians have also started to play out as a "Power Trio." The use of electric guitar, and the three-piece format brings a rawness, and “real” quality to their shows.

On stage, the band connects on a level that likens them to Crazy Horse and Cream, but with a heavy emphasis on lyrical and social content that stems from their love of folk music.
Their music can be categorized as “alt-country,” but this band wasn’t meant to be labeled. They have very little in common with the modern sounds coming out of Nashville, or L.A., and, if anything, would rather be compared to the gritty realism of Country and Rock music’s pioneers.
Their sound is every bit as important as their message, and this band sure has something to say.
