THE COUCH
In 1990, Michael Sokolowski (keyboards), Houston Ross (Bass) & Johnny Gilmore (Drums) came together as SOKO.
Exploring far-flung improvisation via jazz-influenced rock instrumentals, the trio felt free to musically reinventing itself every night and developed a strong relationship with its audience. For six years, it remained an underground or "best kept secret" kind of band within a very exciting and creatively fertile Charlottesville, VA music scene.
In 1997, the band released its debut CD, In November Sunlight, featuring guest appearances by members of Dave Matthews Band. The album did well for an instrumental, but the band broke up the following year.
After a short break, Sokolowski and Ross began work on a follow-up album in 2000, finally releasing Two in 2005.
Now with drummer Nir Z (Genesis, Chris Cornell, Joss Stone, Jason Mraz and many others), they have rerecorded the songs on In November Sunlight.
Where is Sokoband heading? We will find out from Michael and also hear some selections from the album.

Actually it was a mistake. Yesterday wasn't a good day for me to do anything computer related and I kept screwing it up and I must not have copied the entire email.
