Thursday, August 24 Mama Said Genre: Rock www.mamasaidband.com Band Sponsor: W-Trans
Bay Area rock band Mama Said has a distinctly retro sound inspired by classic rock of the late 70’s/early 80’s, and its revival of the early 90’s. Two powerhouse female vocalists front the band, trading leads and harmonies over deep pockets and soaring solos that get them frequently compared to Heart and Fleetwood Mac. They are currently releasing singles from their debut album “Change in the Weather” cowritten & produced by Jim McGorman of the Goo Goo Dolls. The songs feature addictive vocal melodies and beautifully textured guitar hooks, but their intention is also clear—to make an album about growth, change, and coming together. Mama Said is power and attitude with an almost timeless sound. This is New Classic Rock.
