Pound Cake
Ft. Jeff Hill (bass), Teddy Thompson (guitar), Ethan Eubanks (drums)
Poundcake is a cover band. Yuckers. Hold on, don't give up; it’s not that simple. Poundcake play hits, sure, but they also search far and wide to find songs that you should have heard of as well. The heart of the material is drawn out of the Sun Studios era where rock and country were almost indistinguishable. The songs that Poundcake choose are part of the experience. Songs you love; songs you forgot you loved; and songs you should have been loving, but were too busy wrapped up in yourself to take time out to enjoy. The songs are presented unadorned, by three dudes with three instruments and three voices.
Artists that Poundcake have covered include: Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, the Brothers Louvin and Everley, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, and, well, I think you get the point.
Poundcake strives to honor the original recordings and recreates them in the trio setting. The band is truly a labor of love, and was born when it was suggested by drummer/singer Ethan Eubanks to singer/guitarist Teddy Thompson that he should think about doing a project between album cycles that would keep him off the streets and out of the bars. Bassist/singer Jeff Hill was the natural and only consideration when it came to a bassist, as the three had all just spent the better part of the year touring Thompson's record "A Piece of What You Need". They all share a deep and loving respect for this music that they discovered in their formative years as musicians.
