Bio

It remains a mystery just how the varied musical backgrounds of The Laughing Man came together, but the truth is they’ve done it – that and a whole lot more. These guys, college friends consisting of republicans and democrats, yankees and southerners, with influences ranging from Woody Guthrie to Led Zeppelin, fuse seamlessly, entertaining any audience, any demographic. The band agrees on music and evidently, that’s all that matters. Crafting a genre unique and versatile, The Laughing Man honors their mentors by reestablishing the musical philosophies that fueled them-– a band is a coherent unit, emotion fuels creative conception, and the live show is central to a band’s success, absolution defying a world full of critics.

The band members’ differences, combined, are actually their greatest strength – and they are the first to admit it. Building on this, songs are arranged in an open forum of sorts where the four members have an equal say and every idea is considered. The result? A sound at once arresting and alive, a breath of fresh air in today’s over-produced and acquiesced music scene.

A night with The Laughing Man will surely be memorable to any and all attending – the band will settle for nothing less. The artists, with roots in folk, rock, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, fusion and funk, believe in balance, and balancing influence and progression. Their sound – often hinting at fans’ favorite artists mixed with maybe an old forgotten favorite – demands attention. Undeniably intriguing and a surprise every time, in keeping with tradition, the experience of The Laughing Man is far from traditional.

Steve, Kyle, Ian, and Chris attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where they met in 2005. They were friends before band-mates and The Laughing Man emerged as an evolving project all four seemed to agree upon. They look forward to spending an evening with you.

Influences include: Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Paul Simon, Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Radiohead, and a plethora of bluegrass, jazz, and blues.
