Santee makes scratchy, lovesick, indie folk-pop. The band has a way of tentatively coming around to these walloping choruses and emotionally resonant refrains. Over the years, what began as the bedroom folk duo of Heather Loepp and Josh Vega has grown and developed into a larger, fuller band with a richer sound to match. Loepp's voice has always been the most striking aspect of Santee, being, how it is, somehow hoarse and delicate at the same time. With the addition of Speedwobbles and Brite Futures drummer Conor Sisk, Santee has further embraced its more rollicking side.
Full disclosure: this show is a fundraiser for the forthcoming Squeak and Squawk Music Festival, which I am booking. As I've said before, though, this is a show I would be telling you about anyway, regardless of my involvement.

" Loepp's voice has always been the most striking aspect of Santee,"
This is sarcasm, right?

Foreign Money, what's the deal here, same routine, same old faces, different name.

Conrad,
Foreign Money shares members with the Speedwobbles. The routine, if I get your meaning, is not the same.

Your opinion on the "routine" issue Rev., If you don't like my opinion, I have others.
The drummer was good, the others not so much.

Conrad,
Thanks for coming to the show. Glad you enjoyed it.

You're welcome.
We've been to numerous shows in the past and really enjoy them, but don't think we'll be hurrying back again on this showing.
Thanks again.
