"What could be better than not one, not two but three supremely talented songwriters-vocalists-instrumentalists? Calico is a band to be reckoned with on the L.A. scene of the moment." - Chris Morris, Watusi Rodeo
"Jaw dropping!" - Neil Portnow, President/CEO, The GRAMMYs
"Truly the second coming of the Dixie Chicks, only better!" - Al Bowman, President, The Los Angeles
Music Awards
"I have been wanting to see the band for the last few months because of all the buzz generated by this dynamic trio. Believe me, the hype is nothing compared to the real thing. Best thing to happen to music since the Dixie Chicks!" - Robert Legget, The Examiner
The Americana
Music Association holds a series of shows leading up to the Americana
Music Awards every
September in Nashville. In 2010, the AMA's officially showcased CALICO the band, member Manda Mosher. This year CALICO the band will make their first appearance as a group in Nashville for AMA Week.
CALICO the band formed in late 2012 creating a refreshingly lush, original, 3-part harmony vocal sound reminiscent of an earthier Dixie
Chicks mixed with Crosby, Stills, and Nash; carrying the torch of modern day Americana. CALICO represents GRETSCH Guitar's roots instrument line collectively playing acoustic guitar, resonator, mandolin, banjo and harmonica.
CALICO has quickly become one of the most popularly requested acts on the West Coast and Arizona live music scenes. Their recently completed 8 track EP includes the singles "Fools Gold", "San
Andreas Shake", and "Runaway Cowgirl", which can be found exclusively on bandcamp: https://calicotheband.bandcamp.com.
CALICO the band is an all female Americana style guitar-slinging trio. Belting out 3 part harmonies, the ladies can manhandle a guitar, dobro, mandolin, banjo and harmonica. Don't let their good looks fool you, Calico can write a mean hook and perform their sonic gems with total dedication. Manda Mosher, Kirsten Proffit, and Jaime Wyatt have recognized their musical sisterhood by adopting the personas of Perry Rose, Juniper, and Snap Dragon Calico (names chosen to honor their influences or reflect their personalities). All sing (of course), and they're forging skillful and effective vocal arrangements employing alternating lead vocals and multi-part harmonies.
