Drive To Space | WildWood | Saturday, Nov. 15 | 7-10PM | FREEDrive To Space is a keyboard-driven band that progressively combines rock, funk, reggae, Americana, bluegrass, and more into a cohesive, mind-meld of sound - complete with tempo and key changes, odd meters, tight jams, and, well-written, complex material interspersed with improvisation, classic favorites, and three-part vocal harmonies.
Choice cover selections tastily blend with a trunk load of original music. This paves the way for an epic drive through an aural landscape! Welcome aboard the spaceship! It's a good ship. Buckle up as we Drive to Space!
Drive to Space is led by Steph Kay, who in the past, spent time in the past performing nationwide with the St. Louis-based Widespread Panic tribute Mom's Kitchen, Summercamp Music Festival's VIP Tent alums; “Easy Riders”(Chillicothe, IL), with the Grateful Dead tributes Another Dead Cover Band, The Jerryatrics, and Token Rhymes, as well as Eugene's own Left On Wilson and Blue Lotus. More obscure acts that Steph had an active role in are, but not limited to, Defined Perception, Copecetic, and Chicago's Spread. Steph has also shared stages with notable artists such as Victor Wooten, Vince Herman, Vinnie Amico and Al Schnier (of “moe.”), Jason Hann (of SCI), Jaik Willis, Sam Holt, Ike Willis and Ray White (of Frank Zappa's band), Andy Frasco, and Jay Cobb Anderson (of “Fruition”) just to name a few. Simply put, Steph likes to play, and has spent the last 26 years doing so.
Travis Mason (of Ripple Vision, The Vibin' Dutchmen) has joined the crew on guitar. Now on regular rotation, Travis brings tasty riffs and comping that pairs cosmically with the rest of the entourage.
Backed by John Raden (Candy Apple Bleu, Hyper Sloth) on drums, and Terry Travis (Hyper Sloth) on bass guitar, John and Terry been performing together for over 30 years. John is also a full-time, private music instructor who is partnered with Eugene's Music's Edge Rock Camp, a unique music program that resides at the WOW Hall in Eugene, OR.
