Description

Radio Mosaic is a four-piece Rock and Roll band based in the Washington, DC area and composed of members of the New Potato Caboose - a national act whose popularity soared between 1986 and 1992 and whose albums received national sales and airplay. Over the last four years, Radio Mosaic has built a reputation for passionate live performances to sell-out crowds and has gained a strong and regular regional following. In describing the band's sound, Tommy Mullins of Music Monthly said, "Radio Mosaic mixes folk rock sensibilities with modern rock grooves and then tops it all off with a bit of guitar edge."
No one member of this band has been playing for less than 20 years. They have spent most of their lives playing music and touring both regionally and nationally. It shows in every aspect of their live shows and is evidenced further in their studio releases.

Radio Mo's unique, energetic and fresh approach gives their music an original and progressive flavor. Their debut release "Look Around" was described by Mick Skidmore of Relix Magazine as, "loaded with sparkling originals... the strength of the songs and the band's energetic and exuberant delivery make this disc so appealing." Their new CD "Roll" is driving and adventurous; exciting ear candy that's furiously fun from start to finish. Bill Wright of WRNR writes in the Chesapeake Music Journal, "'Roll' is simply brilliant... a fantastic release." Dave Demarco of Music Monthly says of the new cd, "The songs on 'Roll' feel instantly familiar the first time you hear them and the hooks stick with you long after the CD is over." Mike Joyce of the Washington Post says, "mixing fresh tunes with NPC holdovers, "Roll" keeps things syncopated and lighthearted. The reggae romp "Party" and the beat-happy "Y Dance" quickly reveal their twin purposes -- to lift spirits and soles at the same time." With well crafted all original material, these releases establish Radio Mosaic as a band that will be around for a while.

When Radio Mo does a live show, they don't use set lists. The spontaneity of their shows and symbiotic interaction with the crowd make for an enjoyable and memorable event of not just music but of experiences of the moment - something extraordinary that will never be the same on any given night.

Doug, John and Mike worked together on the critically acclaimed New Potato Caboose release "Promising Traveler" (Rykodisc) which sold over 60,000 copies nationwide. We're beginning to see a following like that of NPC build for Radio Mosaic, and rightly so - the magic that was NPC is still alive in Radio Mosaic.

After crossing paths with bassist Mike Mahoney in various bands, Mike recruited Tim to play guitar on some East Coast tour dates with New Potato Caboose throughout 1991 and 1992. Mike and Tim continued to play together in the Baltimore club scene in the blues band Medicine Rattlers. When the guitar slot in Radio Mosaic opened up in March of 1998 Mike once again recruited Tim. Tim gets to play all of the styles of music that he enjoys with Radio Mosaic and it "gives [him] the chance to ... make music with an extremely talented bunch of guys."
