Roadkill Ghost Choir & Desert Noises

Overview

Roadkill Ghost Choir is an indie folk-rock band from DeLand, Florida. Brothers Andrew (vocals, guitar), Maxx (drums) and Zach (bass) Shepard make up half the band while Kiffy Meyers (pedal steel, banjo, guitar),  Joey Davoli (keys, trumpet) and Stephen Garza (lead guitar) complete the band’s sound.  It wasn’t until Andrew was offered his first solo gig in 2010 that he decided to form a band to fill out the songs he recently started writing for a live setting. After the band went through several name changes in the early stages of its creation, Roadkill Ghost Choir was formed. While the member’s major influences include Wilco, Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, and Fleetwood Mac, there are also undercurrents of Radiohead and Nirvana, lending the band an impish edge with broad appeal.  Desert Noises is Kyle Henderson, Tyler Osmond, Patrick Boyer, and Brennan Allen, four boys from Utah Valley, UT. The group makes dynamic, propulsive indie rock full of jangle and swagger. These young musicians have an extraordinary knack for pop composition that seems well beyond their years. Their unbridled energy and earnestness is conveyed most thoroughly in the live experience, as their relentless touring over the last few years has enchanted hearts in every city they've visited. Their songs conjure the experience of the wide open road - something they've come to know well - as their lyrics reveal a romantic penchant for adventure. Desert Noises have shared the stage with such buzzworthy contemporaries as The Head and The Heart, Local Natives, The Morning Benders, Blitzen Trapper, Miniature Tigers, and Pepper Rabbit. With their gaze set enthusiastically into the future, this talented band shows no sign of slowing down.
