About the Artist

A group of musicians that originally met through an open jam at a local bar called The Woodshed (RIP). We knew each other and had played together at the jam here and there, but never in a group or anything. Then in 2014, a mutual friend hired Pat, Max, and Jimmy to perform together in a local version of the Broadway play "One Man Two Guv'nors" in which a live band was needed to play 60's style skiffle music that happens during the play. Well, friendships were forged, bonds made, and after the play, everyone was kind of down that we didn't have that band anymore. So we all went back to the jams at the Woodshed and went on. Then in late 2015, Patrick Neville decided he wanted to record his own album of his original songs and created a band to do the recording. Max and Jimmy were available from the original Skiffle band, but the original drummer from the band was already involved in a professional project and was unavailable, so we hired Son Of Ian drummer, Evan Powell, as Pat had played with him for years and knew of his great skills. As we practiced to record the album, things began to take shape into something other than just a recording project and a new band was formed, Balls Capone. Once again, friendships were forged, bonds were made, and after almost a year of weekly practice, the album was created! What was once formed to just be a basic recording project was now a full fledged band. We began doing live shows and are now building a fan base here locally. The album is just the first step in what is hopefully a long and fruitful musical project for all involved.
