An interesting mix of styles, a little Latin, a little groove, a little insane.

Rocking In His Chair

Some prog, some funk, some gritty rock, what else do you need?
The Nashville, TN based group was formed in 2001 with Gary Godbey (bass), Alan Powell (guitar), Matt Jacobs (guitar), and Carlos Ruiz (drums). The four shared a common vision of a band versatile enough to play any style of music, creative enough to imagine unique combinations of styles, and bold enough to actually try it. The broad range of styles makes Liquid Village hard to categorize, but keeps ears fresh and intrigued by what might happen next. Some grooves are classic and accessible, while others are new and challenging. Prog rock, jam band, jazz, country, southern rock, Latin, and reggae- even with so much variety, a signature sound emerges to bind together the whole. All At Once, their first CD released December 2005, got some great reviews. Liquid Village also enjoyed a stint on college and AAA radio, at one point being played by over 150 radio stations in North America. At the same time the band began to define its favorite places to play as outdoor events. A second recording got underway in the summer of 2007, and will eventually become the band’s second full-length release. “The band is really finding its voice now, really starting to define itself”, Powell says. “Writing for us always starts organically, and then certain pieces get churned through the intellectually creative machinery of the project”. Powell, Jacobs, and Ruiz all have degrees from Berklee College of Music. Godbey is a groove master, was trained on several instruments, and has a great ear for vocals and arrangements. Liquid Village is the kind of band that can provide a well-balanced musical experience. With their unique grooves and juxtaposition of styles, you cannot help finding something to like about these guys. Liquid Village is prepared to flood the world with their truly distinctive sound.
Band/artist history
The Nashville based group was formed in 2001, but the cloth was on the loom many years earlier. In 1990, Gary Godbey (bass) and Alan Powell (guitar) began playing together in Nashville. At the same time, Carlos Ruiz (drums) and Matt Jacobs (guitar) were playing together at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Alan and Matt even played together for a short time in 1992. It took eleven years to bring it all into focus, but they agree the band was worth the wait for a chemistry that works so well.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes. Our favorite venues are outdoor events and festivals. There is nothing like the feeling when the whole band is "in the zone", grooving hard. On that foundation layer a thick vocal harmony or a sweet guitar solo... mmm, almost as good as sex!
Your musical influences
Our influences stretch far and wide. Progressive bands like Yes and King Crimson, jam bands like Phish, The Grateful Dead, and Dave Matthews. Add a little classic rock like Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, and Hendrix. Toss in some reggae, southern rock, latin, and jazz, and use them in different combinations in every song. Anything can happen in Liquid Village music, and usually does.
