This time out we chat with Jamie and Kellen Coffis. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coffisbrothers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Coffis Brothers<\/a> and their band, The Mountain Men, hail from Ben Lomond and have just recorded their first record at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gadgetbox.net\/index2.html\" target=\"_blank\">Gadgetbox Studios<\/a> in Santa Cruz. In this episode, Jamie and Kellen discuss their influences, which includes The Beatles and lots of classic rock. (Jamie and Kellen are both huge Tom Petty and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/archives\/191\" target=\"_blank\">Mudcrutch<\/a> fans, so we had lots of common ground.) <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>They also discuss the great experience that they had recording with Andy Zenvzak at Gadgetbox and how their initial idea of &#8220;let&#8217;s see if we can just record a few songs or maybe an EP&#8221; developed into a complete &#8211; and very cool, I might add &#8211; self-titled debut release. (Of course, having talent, good songs, and great sibling harmonies certainly didn&#8217;t hurt.)<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/coffis_bros.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/coffis_bros-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\" \" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/coffis_bros-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/coffis_bros.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Kellen and Jamie Coffis<\/b><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>This interview is being posted as fall &#8211; and the oncoming rain &#8211; are looming again, so the timing is good. During our chat, you&#8217;ll hear some pretty funny (well, they&#8217;re funny now) stories of how rain stalked Jamie and Kellen to many of their gigs earlier this year, including last June&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/redwoodmountainfaire.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Redwood Mountain Faire<\/a>, where both our bands played and where I got to hear these guys for the first time. <\/p>\n<p>Locally, you can see The Coffis Brothers on Saturday, October 29th at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skovwinery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Skov Winery<\/a> in Scotts Valley. Jamie and Kellen, along with our band, Rob Hastings, and the Babiarz-Scott Band are all playing at Skov&#8217;s Celebrate the Harvest Festival.
