Bio: In the early days, we were a praise and worship band playing for outreaches and church worship. It was what really shaped us to be a band with tight bonds that goes deeper than notes on the page. We were playing music that moved and danced. We were willing to play at all events and all church services. It was an infectious time.
Albert wanted to record an album. With the help of Conrad Askland, we entered a recording studio for the first time. We recorded in less than a handful of weekends. It was one rhythm track after another. It was such a great experience for everyone. Recording our first album set us up for original sets for music people had not heard before. It was the start to journey of excitement and musical creativity.
We brought on a front man, Milton Caylor, to help alleviate the vocal duties. Milton's addition helped us bridge the musical genre from blues to a more vocal and lyric based project. We were approached by a local independent label that helped us to create a new album. With the addition of another guitarist, Gabe de La Cruz, we formed Four Shadows Fall. That became our quest for several years. It propelled us from churches to large venues such as, Spirit West Coast Del Mar for two consecutive years. We also traveled to Quincy, CA for JoshuaFest. What was supposed to be one appearance in the afternoon, turned out to be an additional evening show on the main stage. KLove was the local radio station, that heard us in the afternoon and made it possible to play on the big stage for an act that was going to be late. We also landed an annual gig in Primm Nevada for the San Bernardino County Sherriff's department that expanded our audience. We were busy and loved every minute.
The band's quest for the blues was itching at us all, so we decided to make a run at it. Albert Miranda moved to our frontman with confidence and a seasoned voice. We made frequent appearances at Lucille's BBQ and recieved great support and appreciation. With the blues feel to our music, we were able to open for an All Star Steve Ferrone band at BB Kings in Hollywood. We also made it down to the Blues Cafe in Long Beach. During this time, we also made a great appearance at Yesteryears in Pomona, where guitarist Miles Joseph played right before us. He was apart of the Steve Ferrone band, who we opened for. We were also able to set a good base of a catalog of blues covers to go along with our list of originals from two solid albums.
Currently the band has solidified the core members of the band and forgone the blues effort. We are in the midst of creating a new catalog of music consisting of originals and standards the blues audience can appreciate. We already make frequent appearances in Wrightwood, CA at the local brewery 2 times a month. We also have a consistant following around the area including Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley and Hesperia. Our shows are packed with heavy blues, rock and contemporary jazz numbers that allow our audience to feel the music. We hope to visit a venue near you to enjoy and feel our big solos, heavy grooves and heartfelt vocals.
