'WHAT ARE YOU WISHING FOR' by Tom Champlin
'BATTLE IN BAGHDAD' by Josie Crosby
Josie Crosby is a powerful vocal stylist who has played with great success to enthusiastic crowds throughout New England for most of the last five years. She is a prolific songwriter with a generous catalog of original material that delves into the emotional side of world and personal events. Recently, she has joined forces with some of Rhode Island's most talented musicians in shaping a dynamic and innovative new music ensemble..."Signs of Life."
On lead guitar is Tom Champlin, an eight album veteran with seminal neo-garage/psych explorers Plan 9. As a founding soldier in their guitar army, Tom toured extensively across the US and Canada while signed to Enigma/Capitol. Deciding to head out in a new direction, Tom subsequently added his pyrotechnic guitar prowess to the ska/punk fueled Jungle Dogs and kickstarted their rise with a near endless run of sold out shows and their crowning as WBRU 'Rock Hunt' champions in 1990.
Sitting high atop the drum riser is Bill Lawing, a seasoned player in numerous popular original RI bands, including muscular horn-rockers Superbug (also a WBRU 'Rock Hunt' winner), Fat Glass, and the guitar-jammers of Shiver.
Bass....low end....is handled by Chris Hackett, a talented and fluid player who has had the pleasure of playing with Gram Thompson in Anderson Counsel, as well as lending his unique melodic thunder to numerous other Rhode Island rock outfits. Chris is also the owner of MoJo Music Shop in Westerly, RI.
So what does this new brew sound like? Trying to pin them down to one sound? That's impossible, but roots-infused rock sure fits comfortable. After all, they're really just getting started and who knows what lies ahead.
Yeh, just when you think you've got Signs of Life nailed, Josie's voice opens your mind, the band grabs a hold of your ears and up ahead shimmers a new horizon.
