GHOST TOWN GOSPEL
1 Man Banjo (solo act from Thee Hobo Gobbelins" Jerk Church Tabernacle Choir

Hailing from the fabled Ghost Town District of Oakland, California, Ghost Town Gospel brings a distinctly Bay Area sound to their brand of American folk.

Cast: (in order of appearance)

Tyler- Multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer, he immigrated to the bay from Arizona after spending 7 years between running a record label/recording studio, playing in various bands, and working… Show more night shift at the local jail. He was inspired to assemble an acoustic act because "moving drums sucks".

Josh: The writer of the bulk of GTG's material, he shreds vocal chords and guitars with utter disregard for the safety of himself and others. Graduating with a degree in music from Sonoma State, he has played in many bands and can also be caught smashing his frankenstein Fender in DeathRay. He is also an avid outdoorsman and survivalist.

Kevin: Our banjo player since May 2012, Kevin is a a tenured bluegrass guitar player and recent Bay Area transplant, originally from Chicago.

Miss Roach: Has been on accordion with GTG since July 2012. She co-leads the weekly musical community meetup "Jerk Church" out of Oakland. A veteran of the punk and theatre scenes, Roachie's just here for the cookies.

Alumni Members:

Jutta- From the hills of Ukiah, raised by gypsies in Mendocino, and with a heart that longs for New Orleans, her fervent vocals and haunting violin may conjure visions of a raucous vaudeville cabaret or of a down-home porch on the bayou. She has a lengthy and diverse musical background and can be seen performing with various artists throughout the bay area.

Ethan- Son of one the bay area's foremost jazz bass performers, he was shredding the upright before he could legally drive. Aside from being a general bad mofo, he's also a competitive downhill mountain biker sponsored by Red Bull. He will attend Chico State's recording program in the fall on scholarship.
