Trends and styles may change in music, but there are just some things that are timeless...like songwriting from the heart with ear-catching melodies and rich harmony vocals. The team of David Beck (a stage name as his real name is David Whitbeck) and Paul Cauthen has created Sons of Fathers, a band with a soaring, original sound that belies their young age. They have been compared to the Avett Brothers, The Byrds, and The Everly Brothers, albeit with an infusion of Texas grease. -- -- Beck and Cauthen came together when each was working on a solo project in San Marcos, Texas. Though the two had met casually, a chance encounter at Thompson's Island in a park on the Blanco River led them to join forces. As soon as the Texans starting writing and singing together, they realized that they had found something special. "We knocked out an incredible number of songs in two days," says Paul. Singing together came just as easily. "It's the weirdest thing. The harmony is the last thing we worry about. We just fall into sockets of harmony naturally," says Paul. -- -- Originally called Beck & Cauthen, the group received a letter from representatives of Beck (the artist who performed 'Odelay' and 'Mellow Gold'). "We had used the phrase 'Sons of Fathers' long before we wrote the song and we have changed the band name. It was a sign for us to change the name to something that included the whole band, not just a duo. We are all in this together and we all play a role." Augmented with Regan Schmidt on guitar and lap steel, and Dees Stribling on drums, the band functions as an organic unit. -- Another listing by Zip
