Z2 Entertainment will present Great American Taxi & Poor Man's Whiskey at the Fox Theatre on Friday, January 25th. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 30th for $12.00 in advance and $15.00 day of show.

"I believe in the power of music and songs that can generate the energy to do something," explains Herman. "Politics should be in music; everything's politics, especially music. Songwriting can draw attention to appropriate issues of our times." The band holds no bars in confronting current issues like mountaintop removal, nuclear energy, poor economic conditions, or a soldier returning home from war.

"Taxi's latest release has shed the jamming and gone for the throat with focused song writing and tight musical arrangements," adds Staehly. "The album combines 'folky' elements with straight ahead bluegrass that was propelled by Tim O'Brien playing fiddle, banjo and mandolin on several numbers mixed with equal parts rock 'n' roll - think early-'70s country-rock Rolling Stones."
