Acoustic Minds Bio:
LIVE AT MISSISSIPPI STUDIOS
NOW AVAILABLE FROM NORTHWEST FOLK ROCKERS
ACOUSTIC MINDS
PORTLAND, OREGON Acoustic Minds, the five-piece folk rock band fueled by twin sister harmonies and deft exploration of contemporary acoustic musical styles, have released their second CD, Live at Mississippi Studios. The CD is the follow-up to last years studio album Time, and has already made a splash on Garageband.coms Folk Rock charts as well their Blues, R&B, and Jazz top picks. Its rare to find a band versed in so many styles and able to bring something fresh to the mix, but this is exactly what sets Acoustic Minds apart from the crowd. They can burn up a stage with Indigo Girls-like power anthems (24 Years), acoustic jazz/blues picking and smoldering gospel-like testifying (Stuck), or sophisticated rhythms and adult contemporary singer-songwriting (Then Ill be Smiling). The 13-track album is a perfect introduction to the raw power of their live shows, allowing listeners to enjoy their tight musicianship, soaring vocals, and, inventive style.
Acoustic Minds features Jenni and Amanda Price (vocals), Nathan Milton (acoustic guitar, vocals), Franklin Gallwas (percussion) and Nathan Carver (bass). Live at Mississippi Studios was recorded at Portland, Oregons renowned acoustic café Mississippi Studios by Jim Brunberg, and mastered by Ryan Foster. It is available through CDBaby.com or at live shows and Portland-area music stores.
Acoustic Minds began as a three-piece, with twins Jenni and Amanda Price sharing their love of singer-songwriters like Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell with acoustic guitar. They found like-minded artists around the Portland area and eventually filled out their sound to a full band. Their first CD Time was released in 2005, and launched a national 59-city tour. They currently keep to a demanding local performance schedule including a busy summer of outdoor performances.
