Fresh out of the studio from recording their sophomore release with legendary rock producer Steve Lyon (Depeche Mode, Paul McCartney, The Cure, Eric Clapton), Bravenoise eagerly await the release of a brand new album in early 2016. After completing the first round of mixes in London this past summer they performed a series of concerts in Colombia, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the UK. With their debut “Everything Was And Everything Will Be”, the Baltimore/DC-based trio Bravenoise introduced their sound of prominent and soulful grooves, flavored by infectious melodies, catchy pop hooks, and clever arrangements, with Caribbean and Latin influences anchored quintessential Rock and Roll. The band draws upon the reggae-inflected pop of The Police, the visionary artfulness of Radiohead and David Bowie, combined with the driving groove of the Motown sound and the cool sultriness of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s Brazilian jazz to create a refreshing and captivating sound that is truly their own. Individually or collectively, the band and its members have performed across the country and around the world, performing locally at events like Taste of Bethesda, The Baltimore Book Festival, and Brazil Day, at local establishments including Rams Head Live, DC9, Iota Club, Seacrets, Bartini, Jammin' Java, Rock and Roll Hotel and The 8×10, and nationally at venues like Tulsa’s historic Cain’s Ballroom and T.T. the Bear’s Place in Boston. The trio parlayed the release of “Everything Was And Everything Will Be” into Deli Magazine’s DC-area Band of the Month. Bravenoise is comprised of musicians who love both the art and craft of making music and sharing it with their fans. Bravenoise is Andrew Bell, Garron Marsh and drummer Brett Schatz. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Andrew Bell is a classically-trained musician andcomposer. Initially self-taught, Andrew went on to take guitar lessons from the world-renowned William Feasley, a protégé of the late Andrés Segovia. Andrew began playing guitar at age five, though his early career was nearly derailed by a time conflict with Voltron, his favorite television show. He grew up in a family of diverse musical tastes — Bob Bell, Andrew’s father, along with his bluegrass band, The Lakeside Melody Boys, performed for President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Along with his father’s bluegrass finger-picking style, Andrew was exposed to a wide array of sounds ranging from Chet Atkins and Miles Davis to Nick Drake and Joaquin Rodrigo. A burgeoning collection of these and many other jazz, flamenco, reggae and rock records helped his musical life take shape. This intense study of music, of Bach and Joaquín Rodrigo, of The Police, Radiohead, and Peter Gabriel, of Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, forms the basis of his original compositions. Bassist Garron Marsh hails from the Red Dirt music scene of Oklahoma and Texas, bringing with him years and miles of musical experience. Garron learned at the feet of his grandpa growing up in the bluegrass tradition, mastering his instrument in innumerable picking circles and music festivals around Oklahoma. Garron soon progressed into his first punk band in a friend’s garage, playing his first club dates at 17 and embarking upon his first tour at 18. A highly versatile instrumentalist, Garron never turned down an opportunity to play, honing his craft on countless regional stages playing everything from bluegrass, folk, and rockabilly, to funk, punk, salsa and rock and roll. Garron counts among his favorites artists, soloists and groups as varied as Sting, Tom Waits, The Clash, Sigur Rós, Jeff Buckley, The Pogues, The Smiths, Django Reinhardt, John Coltrane, and many others. Wrapping up 2015 on a high note, Bravenoise show no signs of slowing down. The group is well on their way to winning the hearts and minds of music fans in the DC area and beyond. They were musical ambassadors with The Earth Day Network, showcased their talent at the nationally acclaimed arts platform RAW, have numerous local and regional gigs on their calendar, and await the release their second studio album with legendary producer Steve Lyon due for release in early 2016.
