LOWER GROUND is a five piece band that hails from Port Dover, Ontario. The band has played many festivals in both the U.S. and Canada and have opened for a few name bands.
This band is, definitely, a jam band that will grow on you. The band members are: Ryan Wardell-Vocals, guitar; Jeremy Cottingham-Vocals, guitar; Mark Wright-Vocals, bass; Tony Ducios-Harmonica and Jesse Legault-Drums.
This 10 CD was Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Ryan Wardell. SHUT OFF YOUR MIND starts off this CD with reflections of the Dead. The song is sweet and has a great melody that you are bound to love.
WEIGHTLESS has a bit of The Band favor to it as the melody is laid back as the vocals are supercool. The guitar is sweet as it echoes throughout the band as the beat is straight and solid. I like this song a lot.
COWS has a laid back intro and then the band kicks it up into a sweet melody. This song will make you smile and then some. The lyrics and melody is filled with hooks throughout the song. I love it.
43 YEARS is one of those songs that you could be lying underneath a tree tokin' away as you close your eyes and go to la la land as the band plays away. There is no doubt, they were influenced by The Dead.
LOST MY HEART is a love story that has a Neil Young type of feel. Listen close to the lyrics , there is a good chance you can relate to it. Pretty cool song.
ALLEY MAE brings this CD to an end with another sweet song by the band. I must admit, if you love jam bands and are looking for one to hire for any festival, this band is for you. They will not let you down. I want to THANK MARCO'S MUSIC for being in touch with me, You can find that band at: You tube, Facebook, Apple Music and Spotify. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
