As a collective whole, Waiting on Trial is a welcoming addition to the Durango acoustic scene. It’s old timey with that youthful energy that old timey music had before old people were the only ones playing it. Musically their sound is distinct with the addition of Chris Lane on banjo and Garrett Sartori on Dobro. Vocally it’s Eric Elliot that shines. Though the band brings together fine harmonies, Eric’s lead vocals are strong and ring true with a classic vaudeville tone, hinting of a time gone on. Bringing the names mentioned thus far to a quintet are Ryan Doty on guitar and Ryan Zernis with the classic heartbeat on bass. They’re the La Plata Mountains in a dusting of October snow" David Smith- Rock and Rye, and KDUR.
