Original, driving, and entertaining, Instant Hobo fuses the best of alt-country,rock, jazz, folk,funk, prog and more into a band they label "AZ's Americana Power Trio".
Press
“Arizona's Instant Hobo is in the saddle and riding a beauty with 'Honey The Horse'. The second offering from the alt-country trio takes a traditional style then smothers it with helpings of borrowed inspiration from various others. Herein lies the heart of stripped-back hard rock with the treble turned all the way to country while spinning tales of a humorous nature.
The adventure kicks off with the rollicking 'Rock Island Rocket' which hammers down the dusty track with frantic purpose, where sweetened guitar licks are cruising freely on the back of a whirlwind of energised drumming. From the off, open sound and almost fluid nature of the compositions might allow the listener to sit back and enjoy the ride; but it is not long before you realise this is no straightforward journey.
According to front-man/horse John Feula, there may be "no room for pie", but there is certainly room for Instant Hobo's home brew of quirky Americana.
