This is a crack band comfortable in the variety of styles showcased on this sparkling San Francisco Music Club debut CD, a culturally rich, exquisitely produced and finely polished album that gives world music an accessible, fresh and fun new sound."
For this new venture, they've brought in bassist Eric McCann, drummer Matt Willis, Michael Peloquin on saxophone and harmonica, Jeff Lewis on trumpet and percussion and singer Sakai. Paul Liberatore from the Marin Independent Journal says "Dillon and Rowan are consummate singers and guitarists with a long and impressive history in Marin, but they chose to identify with San Francisco in their band name to give their ensemble a broad appeal. 21st Century Americana meets Contemporary Rock! Think Paul Simon's Graceland with an extra helping of Red Beans and Rice, a side of Gumbo, and a Red Stripe. Glass Onyon sent over this background: The San Francisco Music Club, led by Dillon and Rowan (who were founding members of Marin County's own The Edge), have now transformed their high energy rock/reggae sound into an exciting and colorful cross pollination of styles and genres a world music experience that draws from Afro-Cuban/Hi-Life, funky New Orleans grooves, R&B, and classic Jamaican roots music reminiscent of Bob Marley & The Wailers or Toots and the Maytals. The digital version of the album will be available on iTunes and other digital retailers on May 22nd, 2012. "Love and Freedom" will be available physically on May 5th, 2012 in retail stores and online retailers everywhere. The group's official CD release party will be held at the legendary Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California on May 5th, 2012, and will feature a myriad of guest performances by some very talented musicians. Veteran rockers Jimmy Dillon and Lorin Rowan have rejoined forces to form San Francisco Music Club and will release their new album, "Love and Freedom", in May.
