Schroomville

So you really want to know how it all got started do you?

Well.................

Schroomville started as a Monday night jam session among friends. A casual meeting of the minds to bleed off the stress of the day jobs with music. Good old Rock n Roll music. We went from a trio, to a quartet, to a five piece, and then to six, each time adding a really good player to the group. Before long it was apparent that we needed to get this thing in front of an audience again. All of us had decades of experience, both playing and performing, and the performance bug is a very difficult one to shake.

As our songlist grew, we noticed that it was heavy on Allman Brothers tunes. They lent themselves to the groups instrumentation and temperament quite well. The very nature of the ABB songs and sound was one of open improvisation and never playing a song the same way twice. This allows Schroomville to be a tribute band and still interject a great deal of personal creativity. After working up about 2 hours worth, we decided to go all in, and the result is what you see today. Schroomville - A Tribute to the Allman Brothers.
