The wit, charm and down to earth spirit of the Small Change Romeos resonates within their music on and off the stage. With over four years as an integral part of the eclectic San Francisco music scene, the band has fired up audiences with an unmistakable "swamp city rock sound" that bleeds with groove, vocal harmonies and wailing guitars. Blending classic, alternative and roots rock’n roll, they are as fresh as they are nostalgic, making musical nods to influences such as The Eagles, Stones, Springsteen, The Police, Tom Petty, Wilco and STP. A rare, dual lead singer-songwriter line up is the main ingredient to the band’s uniqueness and diversity. Chris James brings a warm rich vocal, and acoustic touch while Mike Ruy dirties things up a bit with the soaring lead playing that gives the band its rock edge. It’s a combination that works beautifully and is only enhanced by the dynamic drumming energy of Matt Berg, and the tasty bass playing of new Romeo, Robbie Wright. Having gained notoriety around Northern California, the Romeos have been able to attract many of the area’s finest musicians to perform on their latest album, Fools Gold. Among them: Dave Rude on guitar (Tesla) Phil Bennet, keyboards (Starship) and J Bowman, guitar (Spearhead). Released independently by Loud American and produced by Brian Bolton the Fools Gold record showcases the Small Change Romeos ability to write and record a diverse styles of tunes while uniting them all together into a heart felt, socially conscious and commercially viable rock album. A long drive across the country side would not be the same without it.
