Louvin Brothers Country Christmas CD

FULL OF LAND & SEA BIO:Of Land & Sea is not your typical band name, which is appropriate, because this is not your typical band. Born out of the contrasting styles and unearthly connection of its main members, OL&S has found making music easy from day one. Two musicians could not have much different backgrounds than Joshua Colburn and Scott MacGill. Joshua was raised on the likes of James Taylor, Van Morrison and Pink Floyd. He ended up gravitating to punk and it's derivatives, then to alt-country and alt-rock in their many forms. His more current influences are Ryan Adams, Counting Crows and Sunny Day Real Estate. Scott was raised on bands like Rush, Boston and Van Halen on one side, and funk and R&B from artists like Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone and Earth, Wind & Fire on the other. Where they've come together is making music that isn't afraid to explore new musical territory, and isn't afraid to be honest about where they're coming from in life, whether it's about loving God or taking life in the chops.

Scott MacGill (keyboards, vocals, percussion) has been playing, recording, writing, directing, producing and engineering (both studio and live) music for over 30 years. A product of Richmond, CA, he's been playing in and working with Bay Area bands his whole life. While Scott has extensive experience, he's never had a better extended musical experience than working with Joshua. 'Sometimes we just have to laugh, because we're thinking the same thing so much in the studio and on stage', says Scott, 'It's pretty amazing having a writing partner who has such a different perspective, and yet consistently comes to the same conclusions you do.
