Will Faeber Interview

A little bit of Nashville right here in San Diego… This month, our featured artist is the kind of act that makes you go, “ahhhhh!” At least that describes one of the many feelings that I had the very first time that I met Will Faeber and the guys of Cathouse Thursday. I really think that these guys are ready for the Big Arenas! The harmonies in this band are so tight that you think you are watching a bunch of people lip syncing to an audio track, but the truth is that they are the real deal. (We know that long ago, people did not have that luxury and were forced to be talented, and work hard to perfect their craft!. A lesson for the next generation of musicians!) I wanted to feature Will because he and his team are definitely on the “must see”...

Another Cathouse Thursday Review

A really good band is the sum of all its parts, and front man Will Faeber knows this. Lead guitarist, John DePatie, is a perfect fit. I have the feeling that John can play lead on almost anything with style, grace and high energy. This level of dexterity is key in Cathouse, for although they are country to the core, they often cross over into blues and rock areas. Will Faeber’s rich baritone voice has a classic (old school) country sound to it. It is obvious that the great country singers with which he grew up with in Kentucky have influenced him. In the song “Nashville Baby”, a song about a girl growing up in Nashville, I get an autobiographical vibe. In the story of the baby, she spends her childhood listening to country music and then goes on...

Cathouse Thursday Album Review

Draws you in with their sublimely done guitar licks and smoking hot vocals. Their sixth album in less than thirteen years, this four-person band sure knows how to turn the quality button up to eleven in such a wonderful way. This eleven track album demonstrates the large-arena potential that they have and, if the whimsical Taylor Swift can fill a stadium or two, than Cathouse Thursday are bound to be responsible for doing exactly that but in a much more awesome way. If Funky Hang Loose does not find radio or commercial success than there is something seriously wrong with people. Changing beat on many occasions to much success, it results in this being the finest track of the album and one which is bound to enter many people’s “Top Song List” of 2011. Other...

San Diego Troubadour CD Review

Cathouse Thursday are a band who originate from California and unlike many Nashville bands deliver contemporary songs with tight harmonies and a very laid back style. Sounding much like The Band in their early days this group of talented musicians deliver their music with a definite swing and style. Lead singer, writer and producer Will Faeber sounds much like Sawyer Brown’s Mark Miller and the band have a superb range of playing styles. The songs range from the gospel influence of When I Told You I Was A Cowboy through the rock steady of Make A little Heaven to the gentle ballad, Quiet Darlin’. Overall it is a difficult album to assess because it fits into so many genres or categories. It is very pleasant listening and is definitely Country, although...
