Description
This three-part-harmony-singer-songwriter-adult-
alternative-contemporary-americana-folk-niche-group is one of the most talked about acts on the scene, garnering equally striking revues from press, peers and fans. With a profound vocal blend; mercilessly charming stage presence; articulate banter; and passionate, quirky, compelling, convoluted, crafted, literate songs We're About 9 is the cross over between big energy performance and smart, substantial songwriting and arrangement. Definitely a folk-niche group focused on vocals and acoustic guitars, We're About 9 adds electric bass, light percussion, sometimes electric guitar, and piano. It's a complete, attention gripping show.
Pat Klink (vocals, guitars, djembe), Katie Graybeal (vocals, bass, acoustic guitar), and Brian Gundersdorf (vocals, acoustic guitar) have have been earning instant fans at clubs, coffeehouses and colleges across the North East, and the buzz has spread over much of the United States.
RECORDING
WA9's third and most recent recorded contribution, Engine, was released in the summer of 2003 and has already received a great deal of critical acclaim. George Graham, Program Director for WVIA-fm calls Engine "downright remarkable in quality," has the album in steady rotation, and has made it his top played album of the day on at least one occasion. Singer Magazine says Engine is "a studio collection that's every bit as good as their live performance."
LIVE
Their live show has been described as "positively enthralling" by Singer Magazine Editor, Robert Lindquist, and "mind boggling" by Acoustic Live in New York Editor, Richard Cuccarro, who also believes that the songs "show stretches of imagination seldom seen anywhere." You can expect surprisingly complex vocal harmony arrangements and a critically acclaimed vocal blend, exciting and tasteful acoustic guitars, and electric bass. We're About 9 has been compared to Crosby, Stills & Nash; Barenaked Ladies; and Cry, Cry, Cry.
HISTORY
The story of We're About 9 starts with the trio meeting at an open mic in Ellicott City, MD. Two years later, despite college and day jobs, We're About 9 elevates themselves to the main stage of The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. In 2003 WA9 finishes college, quits the day jobs and takes the stage at many of the major homes of the folk circuit - including The Clearwater Revival, The Point, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Jammin Java, Institute of Musical Traditions, Minstrel Coffeehouse, and Acoustic Cafe.
