PLAYERS

Mojave's sound draws from the bands previous rock background, but is softened with classical elements like violin, viola and cello. Bringing it all together is an eclectic mix of percussion. At the forefront are female vocals with delicately intertwined acoustic guitars.

Mojave is focused on creating a green music scene. 'Stories' avoids packaging by being offered exclusively through digital retailers. All travel made by the band is carbon offset through Tree Canada, and they are members of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of their profits to environmental charities. They also help raise money for a cause near to their hearts, the Stillpointe Llama Sanctuary where they have adopted Starman and Miss Honey.

2008 was a busy year for the band having toured Canada and the US, hitting venues like the world famous Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood and the House of Blues in Las Vegas.  Mojave has just finished working with Producer Dan Achen (City & Colour, Feist) for their sophomore album entitled 'Crow's Funeral' which is scheduled for release May 30, 2009.

Mojave has been playing Morgan guitars since the beginning when looking for the right sound for their debut album 'Stories'.  LJ found her perfect studio guitar with a CC Ziricote.  Just recently she fell  in love with an OM Mango that was added as her main touring guitar, who she affectionately calls 'Mango'. Paul plays a Mahogany Concert Florentine Cutaway.
