First/Last-Don't Stop Please

 

"The onstage presence of Don’t Stop Please is truly something to behold. With six members, all of them multi-instrumentalists, their performance area can get a little crowded. Their shows often resemble a circus act as they juggle instruments and change positions, often in the same song. But this is no novelty act. No musical terrain is off limits for Don’t Stop Please, whose music fits nicely into jazz, rock, funk, folk and/or bluegrass. Add that to the stellar songwriting and Anna Horton’s gorgeous Fiona Apple-esque vocals in tandem with frontman Joel Ludford’s own singing voice, and you’ve got it all."

Check out the band at their official Website, Facebook, Twitter and BandCamp. For this week's hump day edition of my coverage of the Paste 50 States Project takes us back to Arkansas and Don't Stop Please. I want to thank Joel Ludford (Banjo/Vocals/Drums/Trumpet/Guitar/Piano/Tuba/Mandolin/Double Bass/Electric Bass) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.
