专辑简介

Secret Agent Orange, a band that originated while Chicago and The Doobie Brothers were travelling on tour together in the summer of 2008, features Keith Howland (Chicago) on guitar, John Cowan (New Grass Revival, Doobie Bros) on bass and vocals , and Ed Toth (Vertical Horizon, Doobie Bros) on drums. After hitting it off personally and musically while touring together it was discovered that all 3 musicians lived in Nashville, TN. Discussions were had about putting a band together around the amazing vocal talents of John Cowan and Secret Agent Orange was born. Originally just a fun cover band (which you can see on YouTube) where band members could stretch out and play different styles of music, SAO regrouped in 2013 with Cowan taking over bass duties, and started focusing on writing all original material. Digit is the first track recorded by the band and features the stellar keyboard work of Butch Taylor of Dave Matthews Band fame. Howland and Taylor both attended James Madison University and played together in various incarnations of the Richmond ,Va based band "Secrets". "Secrets" also featured the amazing Carter Beauford (DMB) on drums at that time. SAO is an amalgamation of all of the influences of the 3 band members inclucing Rock, Pop, Jazz, Prog, R&B and plenty of improvisation thrown in!
