Six of them with 600 different influences, some God given talent and one common goal... to make music that falls short of fitting into any one genre and to have a sweet ass time doing it. From country to pop, blues to hard rock, Gin Betty! has found a way to fit in a little of everything and translate it in a clean and engaging way. Songs with speed and energy and songs with depth and refrain... Challenged by the diversity of their influences, they have found it hard to generally categorize their musical styling. This easily sets them apart from so many other cookie cutter bands.
Aaron McDonnell’s bare and emotive vocal style, acoustic guitar, and occasional harmonica work is similar to the sounds of singer/songwriters and country musicians such as Ryan Adams, Johnny Cash, and Jeff Tweedy.
Kyle Larson’s engaging, face-melting, lead guitar is heavily influenced by blues and classic rock in the style of Stevie Ray, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix. One can also hear subtle guitar influences from more recent bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins.
Nate Perrone, in addition to playing bass for Gin Betty!, is also a proficient guitar player and this has influenced his rare melodic bass lines which add a deep, soulful color to Gin Betty!’s sound.
Bryan Crawford's drumming hits hard and crisp and adds the necessary finishing touches to Gin Betty!, creating a much more powerfully charged and energetic experience.
Sam Allen’s keyboard work is influenced by classical and pop standards. He rounds out the group by providing a lush layer of background keyboard sounds and piano accents, bringing additional texture to Gin Betty’s full sound.
Emily Perrone's precision harmonies are equally influenced by her chorale roots and her love of classic and progressive rock. Her strong and clean vocal style is the perfect backing complement to McDonnell's raw, country baritone.
Influenced by the greats such as: Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Ryan Adams, Pearl Jam, Wilco, Willie Nelson, and The Pixies.
