Beau Jennings can¹t decide which is more important ­ his day job as an
architect or his real job as the singer and songwriter for his band
Cheyenne. Or maybe he shouldn¹t have to.

The songs on Cheyenne's debut album I Am Haunted, I Am Alive reflect the
same structural integrity of a good building by laying a foundation of solid
songwriting, adding support with strong melodies, and finally adorning with
beautiful and intricate instrumentation.

Produced by Chad Copelin (The New Amsterdams, Umbrellas) and James
McAllister (Ester Drang, Pedro The Lion, Sufjan Stevens), Haunted is the
result of a yearlong collaboration between Beau and some of his closest and
most talented friends. But there are stories beneath the music, and the
album¹s landscape is populated by characters whose tales are weaved into
modern folk songs; car crashes, tidal waves, and blackouts combine with
trips to the grocery store and vacations on the beach to form the terrain of
each narrator¹s spiritual journey.

Cheyenne began in 2003 as a bedroom project in Oklahoma when Beau enlisted
his good friends in the band Ester Drang to help record his first batch of
songs. The result was the You Talk Like You¹ve Seen A Ghost EP, soon
followed by shows throughout the Midwest and with varying lineups. Cheyenne
has since built a reputation of performing an ever-changing live show,
whether it be solo or as a production with up to eight musicians on stage at
once, always debuting new songs and guest musicians.

Since its 2005 release on Kansas City's independent label The Record
Machine, Cheyenne has promoted I Am Haunted, I Am Alive with performances
throughout U.S., including dates with Starlight Mints, John Vanderslice,
Sebadoh, Danielson, and Magnolia Electric Co. Having relocated from
Oklahoma to Brooklyn, Cheyenne¹s live show has taken advantage of its new
neighbors and continues to feature an ever-revolving cast of musicians,
including members of Fruit Bats and the Starlight Mints. The current live
line up includes Beau Jennings (guitar, vocals) Heath Fisher (drums,
vocals), Rob Stephenson (banjo, pedal steel), and Ben Shelton (piano,
vocals).
