UrbanAcoustic’s
founders, Terry Meigel and Joe August, are long-time friends
and long-time musicians. They’ve performed together literally
hundreds of times, from local acoustic gigs, to Long Island’s
hottest clubs (Mulcahy’s, CPI, Claudio’s), and in
New York City’s most renowned music venues (The Bitter End,
The Wetlands, and CBGBs). The two frontmen bring an enormous
amount of enthusiasm to the music. On stage, their
experience together is marked by strong vocals, rich harmonies,
a diverse library of solid material, and their unique and complimentary guitar
work.
The
acoustic/electric duo teamed up with Mike Eklund (percussion).
Mike E and Joe were former band mates in the popular Long Island
cover band, Funhouse.
UrbanAcoustic's
most recently added player is Mike Borenstein (bass). Mike B
and Terry were also former band mates in another popular Long Island
cover band, The Core.
Together
at last, this four-piece
transfers their own energy and enthusiasm
directly to their audience raising the
dynamics of the room.
UrbanAcoustic
has captured something quite distinct by combining an unplugged
feel with a full band sound. Strong musicianship, intense energy,
a diverse repertoire, unique sound, and professional attitudes
allow UrbanAcoustic to fit into any situation.
