about

Diesel Island is a more or less traditional country band established in 2003 by Brian Henneman for the purpose of playing some '70's era country cover songs for fun and a few bucks on the side. The line up has changed somewhat over the years, and the band's bullpen is deep, but key players certainly include Kip Loui, Mark Ortmann, Richard Tralles, Carl Pandolfi, Spencer Marquart, John Horton, and Tim Sullivan. In 2017, the band recorded this self-titled album consisting of songs written by Kip, Richard and Carl with Brian on guitar and Spencer on drums. It was great fun to make and while not strictly speaking a pure country record, it contains enough twang, tonk and Telecaster to fall in that general category. Now in its 17th year as a band, Diesel Island continues to play live gigs in bars and roadhouses across the St. Louis region. (Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the band is currently on hiatus from live performances.) --Kip Loui, Dec 2020
