On
their debut breakthrough album, The Whiskey
Tango Sessions, The Hideaways have created a
melodic blend of rock'n roll and country music forged with
years of seasoned experience. Separately these guys have
worked with such impressive artists as Lucinda
Williams, Rosie
Flores, The
Beat Farmers, Dusty
Wakeman, Tony
Sheridan, Peter
& Gordon, The
Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, and members of both The
Johnny Cash Band and The
Dwight Yoakam Band. Collectively, these guys are
an incredibly tight four-piece band with three very talented,
distinct singer songwriters whose songs combine to create
a rich, complementary album that has a remarkable level of
consistency.
Recorded at "The Ranch" in El Cajon, CA, The
Whiskey Tango Sessions is flavored with gorgeous
pedal steel work and honest, heartfelt lyrics soaked in equal
parts whiskey and integrity. They weave their tales of small
towns, drinking, cheating, loving and leaving. The
Hideaways style ranges from infectious pop ("Stranger's
Heart") and raucous rockabilly ("Since You Said
Goodbye") to bluesy ("If I Could Find A Way"). The
band also brings Red Dirt flavor with a song about ranchers,
señoritas, and dogs riding shotgun in an El Camino
("El Centro County Line"). Besides rockin'
and a twangin', its clear The Hideaways also
know the power of catchy hooks and warm harmonies.
The Hideaways hail from San Diego, CA. Band
members include Phillip Bensimon (vocals, bass),
Rian Greene (vocals, guitar), Keith
Haman (vocals, guitar), and Clint Osborn
(drums). The Hideaways have been
making waves around southern California for awhile, garnering
recognition in the press and picking up nominations for multiple
San Diego music awards, highlighted by winning best
country in 2005 & nominated for best
Americana album in 2006.
With a ferocious live show that has created a devoted following
of true believers, The Hideaways are known
for making many a southwestern nights a little bit hotter.
Some of the artists The Hideaways have been
fortunate enough to share the stage with include: The
Drams, Tim
O'Reagan (from The
JayHawks), The
Derailers, Asleep
At The Wheel, The Damnations TX., The
Flatlanders, Slobberbone,
Dave
Alvin, The
