On October 11th, 2005, the Atlanta-based Rattlesby Records will release Believer, the latest effort from current Allman Bros. bassist Oteil Burbridge and his band, The Peacemakers. Believer is a collection of eleven original songs blending jazz, jam, funk and gospel, showcasing the awe-inspiring talent from the twice-Grammy-nominated Burbridge.
Burbridge first emerged in 1990 as a founding member of the Aquarium Rescue Unit. Although
best known for his current role in the Allman Bros., Burbridge has also played in Vida Blue with Phish’s Paige McConnell and The Funky Meters’ Russell Batiste, and has contributed to recordings by Gregg Allman, Victor Wooten, Trey Anstasio and John Fishman of Phish, and T. Lavitz. In 2001, he also briefly replaced the late Allen Woody in Gov’t Mule.
In addition to Burbridge, the Peacemakers include Chris Fryar (Gravy, Charles Neville, Victor Wooten) on drums, Paul Henson (Aquarium Rescue Unit) on vocals, Mark Kimbrell on guitars and Matt Slocum on keyboards.
