Edison Chair
Based in Austin, Texas, Edison Chair (Martin Aker - bass, Wes Armstrong - drums, Will Bryant - keys/guitar, Cord Jackson - guitar) craft direct songs with colorful, vocally-embellished arrangements; think Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers getting together with The Raconteurs to play Beatles tunes in the 1970s. The band independently released their first album "Greatest Hits" in spring 2012. Soon after, they were featured at Austin's legendary Continental Club in an official showcase at the SXSW Music Festival. Now Edison Chair are working with producer/Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey on their energetic follow-up EP, which will come out this Winter and feature lead vocals from each member.
