This Close Bio

This Close is an Americana Roots Rock and Roll semi-acoustic trio from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Formed from local bands since the late 90’s, this lineup consists of Quilted Fish Recording Artists* Pete Catizone and Rob Jenkins (Something Else) and Jim Anderson (Acoustic Shadows, Redwood Boogie Band) all of whom have played a significant amount of shows in Santa Cruz, San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe. Opening up for such acts as Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, The North Mississippi Allstars, Zigaboo Modeliste, ALO and Dan Bern to name a few. Blending Roadhouse Rock and Roll with hints of Country, Folk and Swampers style funk into an acoustic/electric trio, This Close is sure to put some smiles on faces and get any joint jumpin’.

*Something Else released their first CD “Lesson for Today” in 2001 on the Quilted Fish Records label.
