As You Go - (Centennial, Colorado)

Unknown - http://www.asyougoinfo.com

The As You Go Band is an American Band playing in the Americana style.  Americana is a way of telling the multilayered story of human existence, the journey of mankind. That journey supplies a rich river of experience from which music and lyrics naturally flow.  The Creator of the world, the author of that deep river, remains mixed up in our individual expeditions and in the collective journey of the race.  This ceaseless movement and interaction results in song with The As You Go Band:  joyful songs, sad songs, challenging songs, both simple and complex.

Imagine Neil Young, The Allman Brothers, Stephen Stills, Pink Floyd, Richard Thompson, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and James Taylor getting together to sing about God; this is the best way that I can describe our sound.  Perhaps I'm dreaming and I only wish we sounded like this.  Listen to our songs, what do you think?

One more thing, we are consistently told that our music is soothing and peaceful. For example, after a set, a gentleman came up to us and declared, "listening to your music makes me feel better".
