Gorgeous Gourds

Psychedelic Funk band Gorgeous Gourds combine smooth harmonies, deep tasty grooves, and original songwriting.

The Gorgeous Gourd’s just released album (2/22/22) “Peace and Love” reminds us why we go see and hear live music. The band has evolved into a rock-solid synergistic quartet of accomplished musicians. Their powerful singing and songwriting are evident on their new CD, with 14 worthy cuts combining an eclectic combination of psychedelic funk, folk, tasty jam grooves, smooth harmonies, and soulful ballads. Fred, Lucas, and Sarah all share the artful original songwriting. Iconic KRCL DJ John Florence commented on the new album, “Not a stinker in the bunch!”

Formed in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2015, the founding members are Fred Hayes (bass, vocals), and the strong and steady Bob Smith (drums). Lucas Jones (lead guitar, vocals) provides sublime and often powerful guitar licks and vocals, together with the guitar and joyful dance moves of the dazzling Sarah Little Drum (guitar, vocals) who beautifully fronts the band with her sparkling vocals.

Whether you enjoy easing into a bluesy flow ride or getting all the kinks out on the dance floor, the Gorgeous Gourds is the party you’ll keep coming back to. The title of their new album “Peace and Love” is a message they spread with unbridled energy and enthusiasm.
