Texas-based band Bosque Brown released its sophomore record, "Baby", on March 3. Mara Lee Miller is the band's principal songwriter and she recently spent some telling us about their gear. Thanks, Mara.
Can you tell us about your touring instruments?
i have been really happy with my blueridge acoustic guitar. probably the most affordable and most accurate reproduction of a pre-war style martin i've found. Jeremy got some organ style bass pedals that we will use for some new songs that sound really great. overall we are not a real gear oriented band.
Do you use any specific instruments in the studio?
mostly just the instruments we use live. our drummer did reluctantly played on a cheap japanese drum kit for most of the songs on the record. he is very particular about his drum sound an has a real nice vintage rogers kit with calf skin heads. he later agreed that we were able to get a more unique drum sound for the recording with the cheap set.
What can you tell us about your -
Strings: they need to be changed. every year or two...it's about that time.
Tunings: i tune my guitar a whole step down...can be frustrating for the band.
Picks: never used one
What is one thing we would find on your nightstand?
a glass of water
