Fort Harrison

Fort Harrison is:
Carston Cutler – Guitar/Vocals
Cody Weaver -Drums/Vocals
Jesse Weidmeier – Bass
Alex Wargo – Lead Guitar
Fort Harrison is a progressive indie rock band from Boise, Idaho. The music is written with complex timing and technical ability in mind. The focus is to remain simple enough to engage any listener. Their latest demo “Drifter” is to be followed up with a full length album. Fort Harrison is known for powerful vocal harmonies, meandering bass lines, nimble drum fills and well placed solos.
A review from local Boise writer known as
Here Comes the Dumptruck:
“…Fort Harrison played next. I’ve known of this group for a while, but this was my first time seeing them. They made quite a first impression: gritty, raspy vocals and harshly elegant guitar fused with sly basslines and nimble, hard-hitting drums. Their reggae groove was no less impressive than their metal barrage, and their throat-shredding shouts didn’t conceal how catchy their tunes were. They got some well-earned whoops and cheers from the audience.”

Gizzard Stone

Ryan Wissinger has been a solo performer for 13 years now and is a graduate of the McNally Smith College of Music. After several years off, he is back on the scene and was featured this summer on Idaho Public Radio’s, Music From Stanley. He plays six- and twelve-string acoustic guitars, as well as the electric guitar and harmonica. Ben Brault is arguably one of Idaho’s fastest rising musicians. Playing regularly with the Jeremiah James Gang (Idaho’s top selling artist), his drumming has been an integral part of their success, and his young and incredible talent has taken him far in a short time. Rob Hill is one of Idaho’s hardest working musicians, playing with up to 4 or 5 different bands in any given week. While he is highly sought after, both as a musician and a teacher, his favorite band to play with (out of the many he has to chose from) is Gizzard Stone. He is, without a doubt, one of the best bass players in Idaho. Bernie Reilly, the front man and chief influence of Gizzard Stone, has been a professional musician for over twenty years. He has played successfully on both coasts (NYC & LA) as well as Europe. He has managed to release four albums, as well as sharing songwriting credits with national act, Michele Branch, and even appeared on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show with her. He is the consummate “Swiss Army Musician” and plays the violin, mandolin, guitar, cello, drums, and piano, all with a more than impressive skill level. Gizzard Stone is a tough band to categorize, as it plays in many genres including jazz, honky tonk, rock, reggae, country, and nearly anything else that intrigues us. It is truly a ‘box of chocolates’ type of band; you never know what you’re gonna get.

Lead singer and guitarist Jeff Roth is an accomplished singer, songwriter, guitarist and performer. A music veteran of 40+ years, Jeff has written over 80 songs and has played with many musicians and bands, performing musical styles rooted in blues, jazz, classic rock and fusion. His passion is to explore and combine those musical influences and experiences into uniquely entertaining improvisational rhythms, sounds and songs.
Tenor saxophonist Phil Dean has been playing saxophone since before you were born. He actually has a degree (in temperature!) in music. This is why he’s a favorite everywhere from Texas to Berkeley. He has performed with Gene Harris at Ste. Chapelle Winery and The Idanha Hotel, on the Oregon Coast backing up Freddie Fender, in Sun Valley with Bruce Willis and the Heaters. Phil has performed with many bands in the Treasure Valley, playing anything from blues, jazz, rock and beyond.
Keyboardist Michael T. Spengler loves blues, rock and hip hop. Michael has been playing, writing and performing on guitar most of his musical career, until he recently took the piano up again. He has traveled for his former University in a music group and played with Chad Summervill in Boise. He loves getting to play out in town regularly and entertaining from his piano at home. His salt and pepper is kick ass, and his vocals are sweet as sugar.
Drummer Mike Goulder has been playing for over 25 years, the last 20 with various rock and blues bands in Boise. A love for rhythm and all things drum-related, Mike enjoys crafting beats for all types of musical genres. This guy’s crazy beats will force you to dance. Plus, he is probably the happiest.
Bassist Peter Billings thinks Boise needs way more funk, so he will probably slap you silly. With more than three decades writing songs and playing bass in original funk, rock, blues and psychedelic bands in places from Boston to San Francisco to Tokyo, he puts out an irresistible world music groove and puts the icing on the happy cake with some fine vocal harmonies.
