This spring, Saint Louis’ finest jam trio has quite the hectic agenda. Aaron Kamm and the One Drops are set to take the winding roads of the Midwest, hitting cities they’ve never seen and stages they have never rocked. The One Drops’ are excited for their first musically-driven trip to Colorado, as they are lined up to perform in six cities throughout the beginning of April.
For the last few months, Aaron Kamm and the One Drops have been regularly performing close to home, while busy in the studio recording their 3rd album titled The Bomb and the Beast. The album features 13 new songs; their mold for a true piece of Americana, as Drummer Sean Raila described it. Their infusion of improvisational reggae, blues, rock, and dub flavors is what separates them from others. It’s a mixture of older and newer songs and a lot of them are certainly fan favorites, referring to their latest release in 2010 titled Grow.
The release date for The Bomb and the Beast has not been confirmed, but Raila said to expect a late-March release. You can listen to 2010’s Grow and 2008’s Gnu-Gnu at Theonedrops.com and purchase them on ITunes & CDbaby.com
This is what Drummer Sean Raila had to say about Aaron Kamm and The One Drops’ Spring Tour, “We have been slowly expanding our tour routes from St. Louis. Now we are starting to have followings in Minneapolis,MN, Iowa City, IA, and Kansans City, MO amongst others. We plan to keep expanding to a National Circuit.”
