rice - an American Band was born in the summer of 2014 as a few friends got together to jam and liked the results. A mutual admiration society developed and a love of performing music together was created. Pretty quickly the band was gigging out- and the rice was cooking!
“It is our goal is to have the audience come away with a solid understanding of all the members of the band and their unique talents and musical view. It’s a great pleasure to have such a wealth of talent all rallying around this musical mission.
The current lineup is anchored by Christopher Ellis on the drums and Mike Wood on bass and vocals, gun slinger Brian DiMartino on guitar, and Phil Simon is on guitar and vocals and special guests appear on occasion to join the band. The lineup is fluid and ever developing with the band concentrating on original material while adding in some distinctive covers.
rice - an American Band has played quite a few festivals already in their short time together including Strangecreek Campout (MA), Jerry Jam (NH), Redneck Olympics (ME), Adventure Jam (CT), Wormtown Festival (MA), Harry’s Hill Green Love Renaissance (ME), High Hopes Music and Arts fest (MA), Ziontific (MA), Old 78 Farm Fall Festival and others. The band is not afraid of ski areas either having hit Mount Snow, Sugarloaf and Stratton.
