Description: A touch of folk and blues that likes to rock for the thinking man or woman!
Biography: Bob Story and I started our songwriting collaboration in 2003. We discovered the others talent during guitar lessons that Bob was teaching me at the time. We spent more time working on writing and coming up with new songs so...With a mutual love of the classic rock from our youth we jumped in with both feet. Bob purchased a 24 track studio and off we went. Writing, recording and producing!

We did a Rogers and Hammerstein thing. As you may know, Hammerstein used to just drop newly-written music off onto Rogers' piano and walk out of the room. Then Rogers would write the lyrics. "His music was so good," Rogers was fond of saying, "that the words just wrote themselves."

Well, Bob Story's music is that good. The words write themselves

Check out the CD "Middle of the Night" at www.CDBaby.com. You will find country tunes , but it ain't a country album. There are several hard rock tunes. But it's not a rock album. You'll find blues as well; and you'll find jazz. You'll hear some musical lines which will remind you of something you might have heard on the White Album once.

There is a wedding song which crosses bluegrass, country, and perhaps a bit of jugband as well. Guaranteed to make you want to get married. Ha!

Hell there's even a SHOWTUNE! Guaranteed to make you rich. Can't miss, huh?

GREETINGS FROM MARTIAN ACRES!

Martian Acres has just finished its second CD, "From Waltz to War", a two-year project. It will hit all internet and local retail by June 1st.
---The first song on the CD, "Road To Hell" has already been picked as a finalist in the 2005 Songwriting Contest in the Gospel/Inspirational category.

Martian Acres is comprised of two Boulder musicians/songwriters Bob Story and Dennis Wanebo, who combined their very different personal and professional backgrounds to create this music they call "alt Boulder".

-- You will find their music at iTunes, CDbaby.com, Audiolunchbox.com, Sonicbids, Musicsubmit.com and Barts CD Cellar in Boulder, CO.

They have been joined in their efforts by quality Boulder sidemen, Larry Thompson (drums,), Tony Johnson (bass), Chris Malley (guitar), Ricardo Pena (keys), Daniel Jones (steel guitar) and Dexter Payne (clarinet), among others.

The new material is just as varied as that on the first CD. ?With its sizeable repertoire of original songs, the band is now booking performances starting in the late spring of 2006.
