Idlewhile is a Longmont, Colorado based Americana folk band, described as pop infused country/bluegrass.[1]
Formed by Steven Phoenix, Giselle Collazo, Miguel Ramos (formerly of the Boulder, CO band Cabaret Diosa])and songwriter friend Doug Holden in May 2010. Paul Tedesco joined the project on double bass and Matthew Lawlor stepped in to take over drums, banjo and harmony vocals in November 2010. Holden left the group in October 2011, and was replaced by Chad Granoff on guitar and mandolin before being replaced by Seth Goodman (formerly of the Boulder, CO band 18 Switchbacks.) in August 2012.[2]
Their focus has been on live performances with 50 live performances throughout Colorado in their first 18 months together. Idlewhile released their first album in 2011 on iTunes with a blend of original studio-produced and live songs. Idlewhile’s musical style has been called “richly acoustic on one hand, seductively rock on the other.” by the Longmont Times-Call.[3]
Their music has been compared to Colorado bands Elephant Revival and Paper Bird[3]
