Great American Taxi CD Release Party
Great American Taxi formed in March 2005 at the request of a local Boulder promoter to be an allstar band for an environmental benefit show. After the first rehearsal, actually probably after the first song was played together, there was talk of future shows and plans. Some of these musicians had been playing together for ten years, and some had been wanting to play together for at least ten years. Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon and Reed Foehl of the former front range tour de force Acoustic Junction had talked of collaborating on a project for quite a while. The benefit show was the vehicle for this to happen. With the aid of Chad Staehly, who had been playing keyboards with numerous musicians in various projects and formations in Colorado for the last few years was the man to help pull the rest of the band together. Jake Coffin and Eben Grace had been on the road and recording with singer/songwriter Dan Bern for the last three and four years respectively until they had recently settled back down in the Boulder area where among other things they had been playing with Staehly in the John McKay Band. Jake Coffin is one of the area's best drummers as he is constantly bringing his energy into anything he touches. Eben Grace is a genius guitar player, but he also has an ace in his pocket, the pedal steel. Eben gives the band a real boost with his country textures and gritty leads.
