Sandbar shows this week:
Friday 3/12 Outformation ~ This Is OUT
Outformation returns to Colorado for a final 4-night run!
The Lineup for this Farewell run is Sam Holt, Lee Schwartz, Benji Shanks and CR Gruver. This is really OUT, the final curtain call, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. In response to Outformation’s auspicious entrance to the music world, the rising stars were named “Best New Band” of 2005 Honest Tune Magazine’s reader’s poll, and ”Tennessee Before Daylight” was nominated “Best Album” by the editorial staff of the same publication. With club dates selling out across the country it appears that fans of blue-collar, hard-nosed rock & roll are taking notice. When talking to producer/keyboardist Jojo Hermann, about Outformation’s rapid success he is quick to reference the dynamic six-string skills of Sam Holt. “Sam’s got that hypnotic thing,” says Hermann. “He kinda gets into that trance when he plays…. It’s a big part of what drew me to him.” Regardless of whether Holt developed his confident, “hypnotic” style by touring with Outformation, learning at the foot of Michael Houser, sitting in numerous times with Widespread Panic, or by simply tapping into the music in his head, it’s a driving factor to the Outformation sound. Having already played for packed stadiums with tens of thousands of screaming fans, Holt is ready to lead Outformation to the masses. Armed with story-based, workingman songs, ever-increasing moments of magic on stage, and growing pockets of fans across the country, Outformation is clearly on the move. “We’re ready…. I’m looking forward to getting in front of bigger audiences and pushing it… just give it to ‘em, just go crazy. I’m looking forward to the ride, and I hope it’s a ride we can stay on for a while.” Outformation is a band on the brink of something big.
