Great American Taxi – Paradise Lost

You’ve got a friend in the rock ’n’ roll business! A performance with mandolin extraordinaire Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon) feels like a backyard Cajun barbeque where you’re having the time of your life. Co-founder Chad Staehly (Bill McKay Band) heads the Mark Vann Foundation, and has the fire, passion, and acumen needed to accompany a rollicking talent like Herman; keyboards as playful as Snoopy and as serious as Schroeder. Filling the cab: drummer Chris Sheldon (PHIX, DeadPhish Orchestra) has massive drive, yet easy danceable complexity; Brian “Lurch Mudpuddle” Adams (PHIX, Barefoot Revolution) a bass player of intriguing depth; and shredding flat-picker and electric guitarist Jim Lewin (Harmony Grits, Continental Drifters.)
Paradise Lost, Taxi’s third album, produced by singer/songwriter Todd Snider (Eastside Bulldogs), who adds vocals and harmonica, features guests,Tim O’Brien (Hot Rize) on cello banjo, fiddle, and vocals; Barry Sless (Phil Lesh & Friends, Moonalice) on pedal steel guitar; and Elizabeth Cook (Grand Ole Opry) on vocals.
LIVE: Sat. May 19th / Arapahoe Basin Ski Area / with Whitewater Ramble, Keystone CO
