Artist description THE WELL - Springing from the fertile earth of Central California's San Joaquin Valley comes THE WELL. The depth of sound and musical styles spilling forth from this band has swept away many fans in a wash of originality. The band draws from a wide array of musical influences: classic rock, classical, early blues, reggae, ska, industrial, funk, psychedelic, jazz… Together they embrace all, creating an endless source or "well" of musical ideas to draw from. This is where the group finds its own original sound. The band still occasionally sips from an eclectic collection of covers, developed from over ten years of playing casuals, clubs, concerts and benefits. The motivation behind the music is the people who dance wildly, or with gentle abandon. There is an energy exchange between band and audience that takes the music to a higher level. An agent of THE MUSIC CONNECTION said he had never seen a show where so many people were dancing facing the band, instead of facing each other. Jim Chlebda of South Valley Arts magazine says the band plays "exceedingly tasty original material that’s bound to get you hoppin'" THE WELL is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their next CD release. It will be their second effort, following their initial release "TRUELIGHT" which is available at The Wherehouse, Ragin' Records and other record chains. Excerpts from this disc have received radio airplay on New Rock 104 FM and have also been featured on "The Music Never Stopped" weekly radio show in Los Angeles. With the expected release of the bands new CD, they are ready, as one local writer says, to "spring forth"on the world, "One never knows what one will find when one draws from THE WELL".
