The band decided to record a few tracks and that was the first time Brandon, Josh and Joe were all in the same room. The project had dismembered years prior.
Joe later shared with Josh that he really liked the project and felt that it was "unfortunate" that it had broken up. Shortly after, Josh approached Joe and said, "my brother, Brandon is considering starting a new project and wanted to know if you would like to audition for bass. Forage originally started out as a 4 piece with Towhee guitarist - Vallen Pool. The band realized constantly finding and teaching new guitarist was really just holding them back opposed to pushing them forward.

Stop in for a club gig with BCB and you'll find more screaming guitars and miller flying than boot scootin'. The band may get taken for granted since it plays so frequently, but that's changing as the group keeps getting more and more out of town gigs.
On the occasion that I get to stop in, however, it's nearly always like pulling out an old record and rediscovering one of your old favorites.
Classic guitar tones and bar-room rock are the rule, especially when the band is on fire and playing live. The live show is where the Brandon Clark Band thrives, which may explain the energy caught on the band's new disc, Tall, which rolls out this Friday night, May 2, with a CD release party at Mercury Lounge. With nearly two years time invested and the disc all but completed, the band decided to scrap the sessions a few months ago and made a trip to visit Hank Charles at Valcour Sound.
From there, the group started from scratch and while Charles dialed in the tones and directed the recording, the band kicked out the tunes the way it does things best: live and in the moment. Of course, a few punch-ins and overdubs were added, but mostly, it was live. In turn, there's an energy on the new record which was missing from the initial sessions. Back to the whole country thing. It's not that there aren't elements of country in the band's music.
There are also elements of blues, jam and even hard rock at times, but you rarely hear the group described as a blues or jam band. As bassist Darren Lightfoot put it, "We still rock up the country and country up the rock. One listen to Tall tells you all you need to know; The Brandon Clark Band is finally starting to capture part of its live attitude in the studio and, in turn, creating CDs that will spend a lot more time in the CD player in your car. Yes, there's still a little honky-tonk and country in there.
At the same time, "Try a Little Loneliness" has a swagger and swing that you're more likely to find with Roger Clyne and the Arizona Peacemakers. The real standout of the new disc, however, is easily "She's Got No Wings" --a song penned by bassist Darren Lightfoot. It's a song that already stood out, but when the group suggested while recording that it would sound cool with strings in the back ground, producer Hank Charles took the band one step farther by scoring it out overnight and adding the parts the next day.
Charles input and attention to detail was definitely a deciding factor in the new recordings. In turn, the band got what they were looking for: a big bass and drum sound along with a full guitar tone. The end results exceeded the band's expectations. Now, it can exceed yours. He's no Brandon Jenkins. We think it's hilarious. Other than the obvious physical differences — Jenkins' bald pate, for example — there are also myriad musical variants.
I'm Americana. But, most of Jenkins' gigs are in and around Austin, Texas, where he now lives. Clark, on the other hand, plays regularly all over the Sooner State, and he's based in Broken Arrow. Clark can be found performing around Tulsa, often several nights a week — and upward of nights a year. His band was even invited back for a second year to perform at Country Fever in June, the monster country festival in Pryor "We were the only band there that played an all-original set!
Then there was that one contest with a certain local bar owner to see how many beer bottles could be broken over one helmet-wearing head. In fact, he has a lot more time to focus on his songwriting, he said. The new record was recorded with the help of producer Hank Charles over at Valcour Sound, where Charles even wrote vast, symphonic string arrangements for one track, "She's Got No Wings. We're a live band, we simply love to play. I have been hearing some buzz about Brandon Clark for quite some time and was told to go have myself a listen.
If you are around the music scene for very long, your going to hear that alot. What got me interested was the buzz was coming from some pretty influential members of the Red Dirt community, so I paid attention.
I live in Bartlesville, which in spite of mine and several other folks best efforts, is NOT the heart of the regional music scene, so I marched myself down to Dirty's Tavern they treat'cha Dirty When we walked in the place was full and the crowd was packed tight like cattle in a chute all the way up to the stage, Brandon was commanding attention in his honest, straightforward style He had those folks in the palm of his hand.
