Ocean City, MD is home base for The Electric Co. which formed in 2008. Solo-artist Nate Clendenen, John Sybert (bass player/vocalist), Sonny Martin (drummer), and Ryan Jackson (lead guitar/vocals) make up the heart and soul of this rootsy Americana act.
The
Mid-Atlantic music scene reflects many unique sub-levels all sharing a common
thread. And the Electric Co.’s music unfolds in much the same way. There are
nuances of Reggae, Folk, Rock, Blues, Bluegrass
and at times, even some Jazz licks. This directly correlates to the rural
town/beach resort split personality of the Delmarva
Peninsula.
Whiskey Tonight, the freshmen effort from the band, reflects this dichotomy in convincing fashion with songs like the Reggae injected “9 Miles” to the in-your-face Rock of “Isabel,” to the Rockabilly swagger of “See You in My Dreams.” With something for fans of all genres, true music enthusiasts will be approving of the earnestness in which they are all played.
Keep your eyes on The Electric Co. This quartet is poised to put their brightest stamp yet on careers that already possess accolades too great and many to mention.
