MP3 Down The Line - Welcome to Flavortown
11 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Acoustic, POP: Today''s Top 40
Details:
Bluegrass instruments, original pop songs, rock ''n'' roll attitude, and the folk- and soul-style harmonies of three unforgettable vocalists. How would you describe such music? Down The Line calls it "acoustic rock and soul" and so far, nobody''s stopping them. In the fall of 2002, Down The Line released their debut album, "Welcome to Flavortown," and the world-at-large was introduced to their singular - and memorable - sound.
A well-meaning fan once described Down The Line as the "the bluegrass Backstreet Boys." The band laughed. But one can''t be blamed for appreciating memorable hooks, lush harmonies, and, let''s face it, devastating good looks. For the record, Down The Line prefers to equate their multi-harmony sound to a modern Eagles or Crosby, Stills & Nash.
The recipe for Down The Line''s "Flavortown" is as follows: Dave plays bass and guitar, and silently mouths every word. Derek sings and plays the djembe (jém*bay), an exotic drum (drüm). Levi sings and plays a mean (but not angry) guitar. Dan sings and plays the mandolin, violin, banjolin, and harmonicalin. Together, they create and perform music that inspires listeners to clap, dance, and sing along.
Down The Line was dubbed "the new wave of college rock" by Performing Songwriter magazine. They scored a top 40 hit on the national New Music Weekly charts with their single "Last Call." The band has been featured on notable Chicago radio and television including Q101, WXRT, WCKG, WBEZ, WGN-TV and CLTV''s "Metromix: The Show." Their song "Here I Am" was included on the movie soundtrack to the ski comedy, Winter Break. They''ve toured both nationally and overseas and were awarded first prize on the WGN-TV Morning News Battle of the Bands. If you''re not yet familiar with Down The Line''s music...welcome to flavortown.
