The core band of The Gentle Guest is a quartet, but it can get crowded when they bring in the horns and such on stage to make a ten-piece. And they will need ten players when they want to recreate the roaring Twenties blues sound of their new full length Cast Off Your Human Form, a collection of mostly rollicking high energy songs.
Taking cues for their lyrics from the Great American Songbook, Tom Waits and Randy Newman in a friendly mood in particular, the band from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, sings about Joe Sixpack, love, death, and dealing with a world that is just too weird sometimes.
The Gentle Guest:
Zach Hanson: drums
James Lincoln: keys
Eric Rykal: vocals, guitar
Aaron Winter: bass
Cast Off Your Human Form is released on Amble Down Records. Release date: July 20.
