The Suborbitals

Artist Information

Biography

We're four thirty-something guys who've all been in bands our entire life. Our weird, catchy, sax-drenched outfit is composed of a Berklee school alum, a major-label vet, a well-respected Nashville session player and a poet who writes intensely unique, unforgettable and well-crafted songs. We started the band for fun but now have simply gotten too good and outgrown Monterey. It would be a tragedy for The Suborbitals not to be heard on bigger stages. As a result we've decided to take it out of the county and play wherever and whenever we can simply out of a deep, abiding respect for the music that has emerged from our unexpected and unlikely collaboration.
