Bio

In the tradition of many other jam bands, no two Froth shows are ever the same — and they continue to get bigger and better each time. In addition to featuring powerful, fan-faves like Alter Ego, Tuba, Seek & Hide, Shuffle and Scatter, to name a few, each Froth set is peppered with an eclectic mix of unique covers by artists such as Wilco, Howlin' Wolf, The Who, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Wilco, The Beatles, the Grateful Dead and more.

In 2010, Froth released their first studio album, eponymously titled "Froth," available on CD Baby, iTunes and at live shows. The album was produced by Froth and its 11 tracks show the diverse range of influences on Froth's energetic sound. From powerful pop-rockers like Seek and Hide and the introspective Shuffle to the funk-jam anthems Scatter and Tuba, each track evokes hints of various styles while at the same time asserting themselves as original and possessing a truly unique groove. Monkeyshine and Take this Monkey off My Back are alt country rockers that deal with universal issues of self-motivation and self-medication. Fog asks the question, 'what would a Transylvanian rock waltz sound like?' Low Highlands Traveller and Hey What > Horsey Ride are essentially vehicles for each member to show off their precision chops.

Lyrically the band explores themes that are both serious and comical. Tuba imagines what could happen if people attended a pseudo-patriotic parade are were sucked up into a giant government tuba, ultimately becoming part of a hate machine. Scatter tells the tale of young man on a psychedelic journey to get back to his seat at a giant concert. Alter Ego is what it sounds like: as we age, we often regret the things we didn't do, leading us to sometimes do things we regret in an effort to be someone we're not. Seek and Hide and Shuffle are flip sides of the same coin: the former being a song of hope, the latter being a pessimistic tale of how our better days lie behind us, not ahead. The line "Tied to someone else's game" is perhaps the line that speaks the most universal truth that anyone who's worked for anyone else can relate to. But fear not, because Seek and Hide assures us that "there's a lot more you can be."
