biographical info
eldorado have an honest, unpretentious, alt-country sound all
their own with roots firmly nestled in old-style country, rockabilly
and Americana that pours freshly out of their second album: suitcase.
Tennessee born, Canadian raised, sad, sweet and sassy singer Angela
Fama leads the five-piece with a sultry voice that causes you to both
cry in your beer and then toe-tap your tears away side by side with
guitarist/singer Nenad Jelicic (Rocketfins), steel/dobro guitarist
Micheal Flunkert (Shiloh Lindsey), bassist/singer, Lynn Saffery (Pawnshop Diamond), and drummer Kenton Wiens (Lily Come Down).
Sharing the songwriting between the band both individually and
together and then completing the process with the recording and
producing of Jon Wood (Herald Nix, Rodney DeCroo), eldorado
have created quite a few great new songs to note: The desert sounds of
vocals and guitar in “tex mex” and “the darkest eye” remind us with
warm kinship of where the baggage we may carry around some-times comes
from, while “suitcase” tells of how if we ‘let this go to grow’, there
is much more ahead on the long road, depending on which way you choose
to travel, then “never say never” and “don’t know what hit me” offer
us the choice to start dancing and entertain thoughts of starts anew...
