Session 19: From the Dark River Band


Listen Later

Tonight on The Sunday Sessions Project we have Doug Kaetz & From The Dark River who helped us out to keep new content for you! The guys did an acoustic set for us and sent it in. Watch with us tonight at 8pm. And remember if you have an original band to send us a submission. Things are a bit crazy but once the smoke clears we'll still need more bands!
Doug Kaetz and band are a Lehigh Valley PA area group that is enjoying their musical ride. They are the winners of "Discovered Artist of 2019" at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards. They play hard rock originals and covers with their own unique stamp. The band has a lot of gigs coming up including a very busy season up and down the New Jersey coast.
Doug is classically trained multi-instrumental musician and educator. At Moravian College he studied classical guitar, jazz and choir. While there he became a jack of all trades in his musical community playing with anyone and playing anything that was needed. This experience made him a quick study and a student of a wide variety of music. Although they are known has a great Rock n’ Roll jam band they love playing their own originals. Being full time musicians can be a crap shoot but these guys are ready.
Doug grew up as a heavy metal fan. The bands list of influences is all over the map. From Korn and Slipknot to Jack Johnson and The Doobie Brothers. A producer once said that “Doug Kaetz sounds like Doug Kaetz. Some musicians sound like their influences but Doug can’t be compared to any others. He has his own sound”. He likes to write from his life and observations. His love of comic books and movies and his metaphoric word play all come together in something completely original. Some of the writing has odd signatures like “Insanaty” which is meant to unbalance the listener. You can’t tap along to it.
