Floater - Acoustic Live at the Wow [CD]

Floater's roots grow in the fertile musical soil of the great Pacific Northwest. With legendary live performances and two Grammy nominations, the trio produces music that critics have called 'the nearest American thing to perfection.' Singer/songwriter Rob Wynia crafts rhythms and melodies with a unique, skillful blend of passion and precision. The songs transition from heartbreaking rock wails to beautiful sonic tapestries and back again without missing a beat. And somehow it always feels exactly right. The prowess of Peter Cornett (drums, percussion) and David Amador (acoustic and lap-steel guitars) is made powerfully clear in their work here. Cornett's drum work ranges from tribal, to jazzy to rock and all points in between. Amador's guitar work shines throughout, like the strange love-child of Andy Summers and David Gilmour, pulling you in and holding you there. The joy and pain shared by these three in making this music can be heard in every song. It's no wonder the legion of fans of Floater is growing with every listen.
