+Please see Steep Canyon Rangers & Dan Schafer ~ openers ~ 
both are very talented and should be look'dn2.

notes: the opener Danny Schafer is a local musician here in town definitely worth checking out. the 2nd performance by the Steep Canyon Rangers was fantastic. 
the show seemed to be a co bill w/ Steep Canyon & these good 'ol boys got some down home blue grass 4u . Great American Taxi was once again the "groovy~grass band" and
this was their 2nd annual CD release party! 
remember Great American Taxi's new record was just released on Tuesday, March 2nd 2010. The album debuted for the week 
just behind Johnny Cash on the Americana charts and has been receiving rave reviews in the press!

from the band:
"Let's get one thing straight right off the bat ~ Great American Taxi is not a jam band. It's not too hard to understand how their particular brand of open~hearted 
Americana has found an audience in that milieu, and maybe they stretch out while swapping solos on~stage, but there's no loosey~goosey jamming whatsoever on 
Reckless Habits...GAT is pretty much a straight~up, old~school country~rock outfit. Not only do they wear their Grateful Dead, Flying Burrito Brothers, and 
Commander Cody influences on their sleeves, they overtly reference their forebears in the lyrics of their songs. The title track chronicles the story of Gram Parsons, 
telling of his time with the Burritos, the International Submarine Band, Byrds, etc."  All Music
"Carbone (Railroad Earth) brought in the four ~ piece Peak to Freak Horns, pedal steel wiz Barry Sless, banjo player Matt Flinner and the Black Swan Singers to give GATâs songs more depth; the resulting 14 songs boast a much fuller sound than the bandâs debut studio album. The New Orleans~0infused track â(Just When You Think It Canât) Get No Better (Then It Does)â stands out thanks to Vince Hermanâs Dr. John like vocal delivery and the flair of the Peak to Freak Horns. Other highlights are GATâs cover of Jeff Tweedyâs Uncle Tupelo ~ era track âNew Madridâ and Slessâ pedal steel work."  Relix
"Great American Taxi's sophomore release finds the band in strong form."  +Denver Post
