Back From Vermont Having Recorded In Trey Anastasio’s Barn Studio, DEARBORN To Release Amazing Second Album
CHICAGO (February 14, 2006) – The winners of the Chicago Music Awards’s 2004 Rock Album Of The Year are back. Dearborn, formerly known as Punsapaya, is ready to rock Chicago with its sophomore release, The Station.
Dearborn has just returned from Vermont where they recorded at The Barn, the studio of Trey Anastasio (formerly of Phish). After finishing thirteen tracks, Trey’s staff remarked, “This band is gonna be huge.” The band’s growing fanbase is due to their constant touring; they’ve shared the stage with Tom Petty, The Black Crowes, The Wailers, Rachel Yamagata, Tim Reynolds, Wictor Wooten, Fishbone, Phantom Planet, and Virginia Coalition. They have performed at nearly every venue in the City, including the Tweeter Center, Park West, Metro, Double Door, and the House of Blues. The band is currently competing with Billy Corgan, Wilco and Umphrey’s McGee for this year’s Best Rock Entertainer Award.
Pino Farina, the band’s lead singer, brings a strong vocal performance to The Station. On the album’s title track, Farina’s vocals soar over sublime harmonies that blend in the tune’s hooky chorus. Mike Poupko wails on lead guitar, his solo on “It’s Over” reminiscent of guitar greats Eric Clapton and Santana. The rhythm section that includes John Cwiok on bass and Johnathan Schiller on drums re-defines the word tight. The Onion calls the band “well-executed…primed for major label attention.” The Illinois Entertainer has said, “Dearborn are a force from which [John] Mayer, and mature rock artists in general, could take note…it’s only a matter of time before they’re drawing attention away from Mayer and the like.” The Daily Isthmus calls Dearborn “Chicago’s hottest rock band.”
