The Taters soar through a catalog of Americana
and '60s-era pop influences

Click here to buy the latest CD	"Think 'Beatles For Sale', if Marty Robbins were a primary influence instead of Carl Perkins..." - No Depression The Taters play an eclectic mix of roots rock, pop, country, skiffle & Americana, a sound that's been compared favorably to a mixture of Everlys, Orbison, Beatles, and Nick Lowe. Writing in Billboard magazine, critic Gordon Ely described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long time... Without a trace of self-consciousness or pretension, the Taters draw up a formula that can rightly be claimed as their own". "The connection between singer-bassist Craig Evans and guitarist Brad Tucker goes back more than 20 years. That kind of knowledge and interplay is responsible for the crisp harmonies and infectious hooks of the band's old school roots-pop" - Durham Herald-Sun Country roots-pop, dashed with the genius songwriting of 60's & 70's power-pop, like a curious, accidental mix of the Mavericks, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and the Beatles - CD Baby

Goodbye to our friend Bryan Harvey

"excellent musicians with an ear for a catchy tune ... a radio-friendly appeal, much in the same vein as the Mavericks"

- americana-uk

"Children of the golden age of radio, the Taters grew up on AM's assorted diet of country, rock 'n roll, and R&B, and filter those influences into their eclectic and blissful roots pop."
- Richmond.com

"For the retro-pop enthusiast among your friends, there's no better cure than a visit from The Taters. Their rootsy pop-rock works off the Bakersfield country twang of Buck Owens and the vocal warmth of Roy Orbison or the Everly Brothers."
- Durham Herald-Sun

"Once a Tater fan, always a Tater fan!"
- Billy Austin, Tater fan

Recess skims the cream off the top of the formative years of popular music and turns out a pristine collection of tunes for the rock and roll classicist. There's a little Buddy Holly in the playful stomp of "Required By Love," and some Spector-esque orchestral swells in "The Kiss." Evans and Tucker conjure early minstrels like the Everly Brothers with their gorgeous vocal harmonies on "On Our Own." Add to that a bevy of boogie riffs, Spanish guitar trills, crisp drum beats, organ skirls, doo-wop vocals, a pedal steel, violin and a pair of well-placed finger cymbals and you've got yourself a record that serves up some serious meat with its taters.
