Green Lemon Tour Stops At Rhythm & Brews Feb. 23

Friday, February 04, 2005

Colorado's Green Lemon band will visit Rhythm & Brews for a show on Wednesday, Feb. 23.

Review for Green Lemon:
Green Lemon kicked off its 2005 tour a few weeks ago and hit the road dripping with success having just been named the “New Home Grown Band of the Year” by Leeway’s Home Grown Music Network and being listed as “One of the Top Bands to See Live in 2005” by Jambase.com. The Green Lemon guys were recently featured in the September/October issue of Relix Magazine where they were named the number one band you should know about.

The Green Lemon band regularly tours across the country and they played 14 national festivals during the spring and summer of 2004. This first tour leg of 2005 will take them through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Musicians Wayne Allen, Matt Fioravanti, Chris Cox, Jonathan Cordero and Steve Schaben all grew up in Edmond, Ok. where the band honed its unique sound. In 2001, the band packed up their gear and moved to Ft. Collins, Co. to further their careers and they haven't looked back since. With a loyal following of Lemonheads, they continue to fill venues across the country and expand their reputation as rising stars.

Catch the Lemons at Rhythm & Brews and see what Hittin’ The Note Magazine says “happens when five guys from Oklahoma are pinned down in a collision of futuristic electronic music and the historic roots of dub reggae.”

Rhythm & Brews is located at 221 Market Street.
