Artist History Catching Red began as a full band in the fall of 2001 as an acoustic duo featuring guitar wunderkind Wes Sayer. The duo soon blossomed into a full band featuring Sayer, Andy Sleet on drums, Joel Trevino (bass), and "Slappy" Dan Edgell on saxophone. CRed recently added a second guitarist/vocalist Marcus Garner (formerly of the band Greenhouse), putting a hard rockin' edge to the jazz/funk/rock amalgam that the band already incorporated into their unique style.
