The Observers release debut disc steeped in indie-folk and Americana
The Observers release debut disc steeped in indie-folk, Americana
on April 17, 2014 - 12:01 AM
The Observers take you on a journey of human experience. Their music allows you to travel through a myriad of emotions from tear in your beer ballads, remain in your brain melodies, and even down home, foot stompin' hootenannies. They have established a sound that transcends their given genre.
"...Ever since developing their indie folk off the city’s west side, the Josh Gage, Allen Greystone and Ben Perrello-led sextet have been one of the region’s hardest working bands—and one of its most talented." -The Buffalo News, Michael Farrell - January 9th, 2015
"Refined songwriting skills are matched with clever acoustic interplay, pointed vocal harmonies...all culminating in a sound that is rooted in folk but with a leash full of slack." -Buffalo Blog, Mathew Polowitz - May 6th, 2014
"...emerged as a harmony-heavy acoustic-based ensemble boasting both instrumental chops and songwriting smarts." -The Buffalo News, Jeff Miers - April 17th, 2014
"Born out of the artistically immersed Allentown neighborhood, The Observers blend original Folk, Indie and Americana compositions to form original pieces that have quickly become regional favorites." -Buffalo Rising - March 24th, 2014

Jan, 09
Michael Farrel dd a nice write up about us for tomorrow's show at Nietzsche's!
The Observers, 10 p.m. Jan. 10 at Nietzsche’s (248 Allen St.)
At this point in their existence, it seems less likely that you haven’t seen the Americana-driven Observers than you have. Larkinville. Hot Mama’s Canteen. Dinosaur BBQ. Babeville’s Ninth Ward. They’ve seemingly canvased Erie County barrooms with tracks like the sublime “Barbara and John” or the boot-stomping “Movin’ On.” Ever since developing their indie folk off the city’s west side, the Josh Gage, Allen Greystone and Ben Perello-led sextet have been one of the region’s hardest working bands—and one of its most talented. If you haven’t seen them yet, get down to Allentown on Saturday for an introduction.
Before you go, listen to: “Good Enough For Me.”

Buffalo News Article!
Apr, 17
Like a homegrown hybrid of influences including Yonder Mountain String Band, the Decemberists, acoustic Jethro Tull and Bon Iver, the Observers grew out of a musical meeting of the minds between Allentown-based musicians Josh Gage, Allen Greystone and Ben Perrello. All three are songwriters, singers and multi-instrumentalists, with a common core formed from a shared love of indie folk and Americana.
The group has expanded to include the talents of fiddle player Jonas Gage, flute player Jeannine Giffear, banjo player Tyler Wetcot and bassist Matt Eppolito. In the process, it has emerged as a harmony-heavy acoustic-based ensemble boasting both instrumental chops and songwriting smarts.
The band has labored to capture the rootsy and rustic nature of its ensemble interplay in the recording studio, and the result is a self-titled debut disc. The Observers, along with friends Savannah King – another bright, young hopeful on the Buffalo singer/songwriter scene – and Fredonia-born roots-soul outfit Lady Lush & the Vinyls, will take over the Ninth Ward at Babeville (341 Delaware Ave.) at 8 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $8 advance, $10 at the door (box office, Ticketmaster).

Saturday, April 19
A blend of folk and indie rock, the Observers epitomize the idea of an Allentown band. Holding banjos, flutes, acoustic guitars, an upright bass, and the occasional mandolin, fiddle or ukelele, the seven-piece band has hit their stride on their latest full-length record. The self-titled record ranges from worldly folk-guitar pieces like “Headin’ West” to what the band likes to call “tear in your beer ballads” like “Sad Cabaret,” led by precise vocal harmonies and rhythmic guitars. On the flip-side, they have no problem transitioning into up-tempo sing-alongs like “Movin’ On.” The Observers will celebrate the release of their self-titled record this Saturday (April 19) at Babeville’s Ninth Ward with support from the lovely and talented Savannah King and Fredonia soul-pop band Lady Lush and the Vinyls.
