Bluesy, rootsy modern rock with jamming soulful lead guitar, passionate female vocals, and cool syncopated rhythms. Influences include Grateful Dead and the Dave Matthews Band.
Bio / Background
Short Stay combines bluesy syncopated rhythms with plenty of ripping guitar solos and improvisation. "It rocks" says fans! All tunes are written by Patti Spadaro, she plays all the guitar tracks, and sings lead on "Give a Little Back" and "Watch it Fly"; and Stefana sings lead on everything else.
"Smiles spread, filling the spaces between a thousand strangers faces" is a line from the CD's title track "Short Stay", which was written as a tribute to Jerry Garcia, shortly after his passing.
This CD features some great songs with thoughtful lyrics, danceable music, a good vibe, and group improvisation. And the musicians really jam! Chuck Schmedeke (drums) and Nate Tshetter (keyboards and Hammond B-3 organ) get into some funky grooves. The band likes to open up the music and create a space where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Patti believes music can bring people together and make a difference in the world. It's also a whole lot of fun.
