Carolyn's Mother came together from four very different backgrounds,
both geographically and musically. Collectively nourished on a wide
swath of bands, they cite the Smiths, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Sisters of
Mercy, Simple Minds, James, and 311 as just a few of the many groups
that influenced them. Rhett Lee (vocals) has a dynamic stage presence
and a visually captivating performance that makes each and every
audience bigger with every gig they play. He individually serenades
people in the crowd, walks on bars, and makes anyone who dares not be
totally engulfed completely captivated by the end of the set. Drew
Hodgson (guitar) was raised in Manchester and his contemporary British
rock influences strongly come through in his playing. Colin T. Burke
(bass) from Saskatchewan, Canada and Jeff Gust (drums/percussion) from
Portland, Oregon make up a solid rhythm section that perfectly
contributes to the Carolyn's Mother experience and sound.
