Nashville is full of great bands and Koriander is no exception. These guys and a gal are
one of the reasons so many major record company execs have a difficult time choosing
who to sign. Koriander's songs are top notch, radio ready tunes that embody some
serious musicianship and songwriting.
"Me & Jack Are Breakin Up" is just one example of Koriander's all around awesomeness
when it comes to making real country music. The lead female vocal, Erin Ashleigh, is
brilliant and I really love her voice. Musically, the song's integrity is pretty solid from the
guitars to the lap steel, the drums to the bass, everything is well put together. If you've
ever been through a break up, you'll relate to this song from start to finish. This is a
rocking song.
In addition to '...Breakin Up', Koriander also offers up various other great songs,
including: The Girls Are Having A Boy's Night Out, All I Wanna Do, Stand Over My Plants,
I Do, Something Good Is Gonna Happen, and That Girl. I mean, there are so many great
songs by Koriander I simply can't name them all.
Overall, Koriander is an exceptional band, and it makes it tough for me to understand
why they aren't signed to a major record deal, on an international tour and up for multiple
CMA's? Check this band out, they are truly gifted and well worth spending money on.
MUSICAL GOAL: "Our ultimate goal is to be a household name and for people to know
when they see us, they are about to have a great time! " - Koriander - Senseitional
