The Cormorants + Amazing Solutions

The Cormorants is Clay Finch (Mapache) with Dan Horne (Beachwood Sparks, Circles Around the Sun) and a rotating cast California croasters. They sing about coastal birds, steam engines, mineral hot springs, Zzyzx Road, bad dogs, hot mamas, hot daddies, and spicy food. Take flight with Thee Cormorants tonight!

A west-coastal troubadour, Justin Huntsman’s multi-instrumentalist approach has woven its way into the fabric of Santa Barbara’s subtle yet dynamic lifestyle. Recently offering a daring tape only release under the colorful cloak of his personal pet project Amazing Solutions, Huntsman’s sound seems to have been painted into the landscape as he has lent his talents to countless other bands, before poignantly offering his own recordings.

In today’s oversaturated vast sea of “global music”, Amazing Solutions is like a groomed set wave barreling toward a sunny beach with a welcome sign written in the sand. Huntsman’s fresh mix of Sitar and drum machines steers clear of tradition, while remembering origin. Trained by his sitar guru (forget his name) in the style of (forget the style) Huntsman will tempt any dirty skeptic to re-consider taking a long, much needed “sound bath”, that will will wash away any doubt that Huntsman has truly found answers to California’s music equation with Amazing Solutions.
