New Potato Caboose
New Potato Caboose are jam band legends that serve up epic musical groovy goodness, featuring amazing harmonies, killer double drum grooves, and next level jams. They are masters of improvisational segues that bridge the songs and integrate the various styles and influences that have shaped the band's sound. New Potato Caboose helped usher in the jam-band era, performing with such artists as Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Widespread Panic, etc. During its heyday, the band averaged well over 200 shows per year at sold out showcase venues and colleges across the U.S. garnering write-ups in Pollstar, Billboard, and Variety. As the first band ever to play the iconic Wetlands Preserve in NYC, NPC was featured in the Sundance documentary. They’re currently performing at high-end venues such as Baltimore Soundstage, The National, and The Hamilton, bringing their superb live act to a fervent fan base. Whenever New Potato Caboose gets together it's always something truly special and one helluva party.
The Caboose released a fresh album, It Ain’t a Thing, that captures both the band’s origins and the magic that is happening now. Renowned producer John Alagia (DMB, John Mayer) was inspired to produce the project, tapping into the music scene roots they all share. Alagia brought in a talented team from the Red Light Management/DMB family, including engineering wizard Jeff Moxley (Blues Traveler, Plain White T’s) and L.A. mastering ace Whynot Jansveld (The Wallflowers, Crash Test Dummies). The album landed at #5 on the Jamband.com chart and is placing very well on the RMR and AMA charts. The album was tracked almost entirely live with the band performing all original songs as you would hear them at a live concert. You can hear the band deftly roll in influences from the party vibe of Little Feat, the innovation of the Grateful Dead, the shimmering vocals of CSN, and the relatable earthiness of The Band.
They recently celebrated their 40th anniversary of performing together and sharing good times and great vibes. As life-long friends and accomplished musicians, NPC always brings it all to every show. One live concert, with a mix of New Potato Caboose originals and signature covers, is all a music lover needs to know how truly good it feels to “Get Loose with the Caboose.”
