"They were the opening act that night, and I happened to catch their set – I hadn't heard the Taters before, but I was totally thrilled by what they did."
Washington Post

Recess skims the cream off the top of the formative years of popular music and turns out a pristine collection of tunes for the rock and roll classicist. There's a little Buddy Holly in the playful stomp of "Required By Love," and some Spector-esque orchestral swells in "The Kiss." Evans and Tucker conjure early minstrels like the Everly Brothers with their gorgeous vocal harmonies on "On Our Own." Add to that a bevy of boogie riffs, Spanish guitar trills, crisp drum beats, organ skirls, doo-wop vocals, a pedal steel, violin and a pair of well-placed finger cymbals and you've got yourself a record that serves up some serious meat with its taters.

DigStation - Indie Music Downloads

Our latest album, released Oct 2009, and in a lot of ways, our most ambitious project in terms of arrangements and songs. A decade since our first release, and a lot of miles under the old Tater van have taught us lots about writing, recording and performing, and we hope it shows in this project

Start with the first track of the aptly named "Menagerie" and let it roll for a phenomenal listening experience. This album has it all in a nice mix of originals and covers that are sure to leave you with a smile... The musicianship on here is just superb, including some horns, a mandolin, a banjo, and probably some other things I can't identify! Craig Evans (who sounds a lot like Roy Orbison or Raul Malo or Elvis) and Brad Tucker have a magical blend and harmonies that simply have to be heard. In short, if you like your music uncomplicated, pure and sure to stick with you, try out Menagerie. You won't be disappointed.

Just One Night

Just One Night (2005)

Our first live album, recorded in, well, just one night, at a show in Ashland, VA (for real!). The album features a few new songs, several new versions of earlier tunes, and some of the most popular cover requests from our live shows, including songs from Roy Orbison, The Everly Brothers, Steve Earle, Simon & Garfunkle, and more. A consistent fan favourite!
