Green Lemon |
Green Lemon is ready to hit the road again for their 2006 Fall Tour which will cover much of the Southeast, Midwest and Heartland. The Fall Tour is expected to continue propelling the band into what looks to be a break out year, building on the successes of 2005. During 2005, the band toured the country from coast to coast playing over 150 shows, was featured in renowned festivals and received numerous accolades.
The band was named the "New Home Grown Band of the Year" by Leeway's Home Grown Music Network and named "Independent Artist of the Year" by Hapi Skratch Entertainment who distributes their self-titled CD. Jambands.com recognized them as the "New Groove of the Month" for March 2005.
The band rounded out the spectacular year by winning Relix Magazine's Jam-Off Contest. Green Lemon was selected from among over 300 entrants to have a song included on Relix Magazine's Jam-Off compilation CD. Relix invited the band to perform a winner's showcase concert in New York City in September during the prestigious CMJ Music Marathon.
Most recently, the band was nominated for a prestigious Jammy Award. Green Lemon was one of six nominees for the New Groove Jammy in April 2006.
Green Lemon blends progressive rock, reggae, electronica and on-the-spot jam improvisation to create the unique sound that is attracting an exploding fan base across the nation. The band members draw inspiration from a wide variety of musical genres. While guitarist Steve Schaben studied jazz in college, his fellow guitarist, Wayne Allen, prefers the sound of Irish rockers U2. Keyboardist Jon Cordero and bassist Jesse Fioravanti listen to indie rock, but drummer Chris Cox enjoys reggae and Maroon 5. Add four songwriters within the group to this diversity of musical tastes and you've got a recipe for auditory bliss. By merging pumping electronica beats with smooth reggae melodies, soaring vocals and some shredding guitar solos, Green Lemon inspired Relix Magazine to declare that they "could very well lead the next generation of jambands." So, be sure and catch a show as they pass through your area.
