Playing songs from the bands self-titled EP, Squawk

Sponsored by Cathead Distillery

Theme music provided by Peter Perkins

Emerging from the speaker like some disturbed three-headed monster and bursting onto the scene with their new self-titled EP….On the tip of your tongue… Can’t put your finger on it… The sound of Squawk delivers flashbacks of 60’s psychedelic rock with flavors of 70’s prog and jam, along with an unrestrained eclecticism that evokes everything from jazz funk fusion to thrash metal and cinematic soundscapes. As experimental as Frank Zappa’s soul patch and as comfortably southern as a hair of Duane Allman’s 1971 lamb-chop sideburns.

Based out of Atlanta, Georgia, The Ides of June brings a refreshing new approach to the Southern Rock genre. Pulling influences from the likes of The Allman Brothers Band and The Black Keys, their sound is the product of a diverse background of influences from each member. Powerful vocals, thunderous (occasionally fuzzy) bass lines, funk and jazz inspired drum grooves and dual lead guitarists all contribute to the unique fusion of Blues and Southern Rock with just a touch of psychedelia to keep things interesting.

When Mountains Speak is Steven Clarkson’s way of communicating his love of sonic expression. For this project, “Skipping the Divide,” he collaborated with Shreyas Iyer who has been playing and learning tabla since he was 7 years old and he is a master sitar player. When Mountains Speak recordings, whether soft spoken soundscapes or hard edge jazz psychedelic rock, come from Steven’s deep faith and an ever increasing curiosity for the world of music.

While Kristin Tinsley’s range of musical taste is extensive, a seminal moment occurred when she first watched and listened to Fleetwood Mac’s “The Dance.” Stevie Nicks distinctive voice resonated and called out to her. And, she took to heart the advice Tom Petty gave to Stevie when she was recording “Trouble in Shangri-La,” which became the lyrics to her song “That Made Me Stronger,” “…Will you write this for me He says no, you write your songs yourself That made me stronger It made me hold on to me…,” That strength lead Kristin to know she has the voice and talent to lead a Stevie Nicks tribute band, Stand Back in recognition to her all-time favorite musician.

Puzzletruck writes songs with a unique set of “House Rules:”

#1 They tell stories - they come first - many of the stories are about growing up in small-town, rural Georgia. #2 No music could be created/written until the story/words were finished. #3 Stephen could not write any music for the stories on an electric guitar - had to be acoustic guitar or piano.

These house rules were to help them completely re-think how they would write songs. Stephen Blackburn & Rick Reese
