As most band members, including frontman Crisci, participate more notably in other bands, when on tour, Old Canes is joined by other available musicians known to the band, including Tyler French, Gabriel Booth, Eric Verhar, and Kelsey Richardson in what they call a "musical collective". They mostly perform live as a trio, depending on the artists' availability. Christopher Crisci is currently finishing material for an album he hopes to record in January of 2007. ==History== Officially begun in 2002, Old Canes bore its roots around October 2001, when [[Christopher Crisci|Chris Crisci]] initially played a handful of solo acoustic shows.<ref>{{citeweb|title=Old Canes|url=http://www.lawrence.com/bands/old_canes/|accessdate=2008-05-28|publisher=Lawrence.com}}</ref> Playing an in-store show as part of a European tour with Crisci's primary band, the [[Appleseed Cast]], promoters wanted the band to play acoustic. Having acoustic material written that was never previously pursued, Crisci would performed three eventual Old Canes songs. After encouragement from supporters who appreciated the contrasting folk sound to the Appleseed Cast, he formally pursued the Old Canes a year and half later. After releasing a demo in 2003, Old Canes released [[Early Morning Hymns]] in 2004, recorded in Crisci's home studio on half-inch 8-track tape. Although the band's label, Second Nature, encouraged Crisci to have an established producer to mix the album, he worked the album himself. Crisci envisioned a lo-fi sound, citing [[Led Zeppelin]], [[Bob Dylan]] and [[Jimi Hendrix]] as artists whose albums were poorly recorded, but sounded great.<ref>{{citeweb|last=Gintowt|first=Richard|title=Old Canes "Early Morning Hymns"|url=http://www.lawrence.com/news/2004/jul/27/review_old/|publisher=Lawrence.com|date=2008-07-24|accessdate=2008-05-28}}</ref> ==Discography== ===Albums=== * ''[[Early Morning Hymns]]'', 2004 ==External links== *[http://www.oldcanes.com Official website] *[http://www.lawrence.com/bands/old_canes/ Old Canes at Lawrence.com] *[http://www.emusic.com/artist/11573/11573344.html Download Old Canes music] *[http://www.earlymorninghymns.com/ Stream Early Morning Hyms] == References == {{reflist|2}} [[Category:American folk musical groups]] {{US-folk-band-stub}}
