Artist History Goodbye Simone would like to say hello. Five college students who grew tired of the hippie and choir music that filled dorm room halls, decided to offer the world something different. The reception on earth, or at least Iowa was overwhelming. With the new found success the boys decided to take their talents north, to the Twin Cities. After a long summer of trying to find jobs the band has finally settled down and is ready to play. Their influences include, Alkaline Trio, Foo Fighters, STP and Jimmy Eat World.

Group Members Goodbye Simone is the brainchild of Nate Tessum. This stellar young man recruited the members to make true a childhood dream to start a band called cold oatmeal. So the cold oatmeal name didn’t last but his dream definitely has not died. As the rhythm guitarist he provides the distortion you need. Watch his ability to play behind his back. Paul Oldenburg plays lead. His fire red hair fuels the band. His lighting fast fingers provide recognizable lead lines with out boring audiences with athletic eighty minute solos. George Morteo is the bassist. He somehow loses his ADHD on stage and channels his energy into innovative bass lines and wild stage presence. The other members spend half the time trying to dodge his swinging four string and 5 foot vertical jumps. Steve Baer is the drummer. He holds to his sticks for dear life. If only he could only hold on to his receding hairline. Pat Noonan, well, Pat is just Pat. Sing along baby.

Instruments guitar, bass, and drums. Keyboards as needed, Harp by Ann Oldenburg.
