*************************
For Samvega, being a touring band is about connecting with people, places, and musicians…and of course the freedom of the road. Come experience the dark harmonious sounds and energy streaming from this musical family!
************************
In Samvega’s world, music is a voyage into the subconscious. Heavy psychedelic overtures, bellowing lyrics, and a tendency to tip toe into the darker places of the mind form the subway of sound. As visual artists the four members have learned to gulp down society and digest it on canvas with texture and color, as musicians their reaction to life and it trials moves from the slow, the dreamy, the melodic into a tidal wave of heavy distortion. Their aim is to create soundscapes to tantalize the mind with the complexities of existence. They’re genre unspecific. Their set can move from psychedelic instrumentation, to doom, to gypsy, to blues and anywhere in between. All four members sing, and the vocals that ride on top can be lowdown outlaw, to punk cabaret. Regardless the singer, their lyrics are carefully crafted and cry of the underground.

THE PLAYERS
Pat Feistel trained by a traditional jazz drummer, has formed his own heavy tribal rhythm that drives the band. He also literally drives the band to shows and on tour and can be found building, wrenching on cars, discussing the cosmos, cattle ranching or growing plants.
Melissa Baker alternates between electric guitar and an electric rickenbaucher mandolin which she soars above the rest of the band with slides and swells, that add a certain cheer and experimentation to the sound. She is a painter, a dreamer, a cat and coffee enthusiast, and lover of humans and their stories.
Rick Escareno offers the psychedelic electric guitar, rhythm and riffs spill out of his fingers and from his voice, a siren sings. He also plays trumpet. He is a vinyl collector, an artist, a knife maker, a leather craftsman, and we suspect a time traveler.
Mercedes Baker and Sammy her prophet hold down the low end with heavy haunting synth, that rides down easy like a horse on the plains. She is a painter, a sculptor, a nature lover, a rust farmer, and a person that finds solace in creating and doing.
