Native Son is an ongoing and evolving Northern Colorado indie music project started in the summer of 2003 by three working musicians with day jobs and bands of their own, who decided to find the time to record a locally based original acoustic/rock music cd. Native Son is: Ernie Mose on drums, James Balin on bass guitar and cragermac on vocals and acoustic guitar. The debut cd "Stones In The Pathway" contains ten songs written by cragermac in the style/genre he likes to call "Progressive Retro".
The cd also features:
Dave Hidalgo of long standing Denver, CO favorite "Rasputin" on several tracks on keyboards.
Alex Otero from Greeley, CO based "FoneeBelowKnee" on lead guitar on two of the tracks.
Jym Britton on lead vocal and Jimmi DuPree on lead guitar, both of recently re-formed local success "The Termites" (James Balin's band) on one track each.
Dave McKenzie, co-founding and former member of "True North" and newest addition to popular hot local act "Left Of Center" on one track as well. And the lovely and ever congenial
Amy Dyer, outdoor afficionado and popular animal-rights personality, on backing vocals. A second cd is also planned that will feature more of cragermac's more recent original songs, collective efforts from the Native Son core three and one track from FoneeBelowKnee (Alex, Ernie and cragermac), provided debut attempt is finally released. More info is available at http://nativeson.builtfree.org - The Official Native Son Website.
UPDATE: Most recent "song" upload, Euphoria, is an example from cragermac's new project "Tropic Of Cancer Moon Capricorn Rising" and is not original recorded material but rather a "prerecorded loops" generated product layered, sequenced and mixed by cragermac. Not exactly 100% original material... But it's fun and I like the results. |
