"Vince Herman’s other car – Pimp My Ride!"
GAT, led by vocalist/guitarist Vince Herman and keyboardist Chad Staehly has been on the road for 5 years since Herman's Colorado band Leftover Salmon began taking breaks from touring. Great American Taxi dives into an ever-expanding repertoire of their own carefully crafted electric folk music along with a great catalog of influential Folk, Americana, Bluegrass and Rock songs. They have been compared with roots rockers like New Riders of the Purple Sage, Grateful Dead, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, the Byrds and Little Feat. Herman finds the comparisons flattering. "We're definitely connected to all the acts in the country/rock spectrum, as well as the spirit of Gram Parsons and Woody Guthrie," he says. "We want to address the issues appropriate to our times, while making music that gets people up and moving." With Herman at the helm you know you're in for quite a ride. ALL ABOARD!
