The crowd is restless... 

It's as if a familiar scent of excitement has intoxicated their senses. Lights dim. 

There is movement from the side

of the stage.   Figures emerge.   A beating

drum is heard.   Guitars begin to plead with

each member of the audience, asking them to participate, to surrender.  The bass begins to rumble.   And it begins.

Listeners are thrust into the world of SmallTown.  Soaring harmonies, blazing guitars, thundering drums and 4 vocalist

numb the senses with top shelf musicianship and talent.  Not to mention the hits from their debut CD, The Last Great Goodbye.

A musical rollercoaster ride that begs the listener to return to familiar territory, citing influences as broad as Bon Jovi and George Strait, Def Leppard and Garth Brooks.

Put simply, quite a ride.

The Last Great Goodbye finds SmallTown culling styles that are fused of infectious Eagles-type harmonies, melodious, yet cutting edge guitar hooks, and vocals from three,

that's right, three lead singers in Mace,

Stayce & Jason.   Rounded out with the thunderous drums of new member Johnny Zimmerman, and SmallTown has fans and critics agreeing that they are a musical force to be heard.  The group has roots that are made up of the area's best and most formidable musicians and songwriters. Having penned songs for groups like All-4-One (songwriting and musician credits) & The Brave (songwriting and musician credits), widespread musical exposure is nothing new to SmallTown.

In fact, J-13 and The Last Great Goodbye

were actually two of the songs that landed

two of the members a publishing deal with the same company that holds the rights to Boot Scoot Boogie and The Gambler.

That is not bad company.

Their debut album kicks off with the self-titled SmallTown.  The listener is then woven

through a work that recalls bands like the Eagles (Sometimes, Just Us Three), Bon Jovi and Def Leppard (SmallTown, What If I Did), & George Strait (J-13, Dancing Her Memory Away).  The unique thing is how all of these influences become a signature sound that although you are reminded of some of them, you are treated to a special blend of music that SmallTown can say is "their" sound.
