Talus is a unique blend of eclectic sounds rooted in progressive rock with elements of funk and blues. Vocalist Ryan O'Connor, guitarist Phil Haberman, bassist Frank Olsen and drummer Rick Belmore joined together in early 2004. Re-joining forces after departing from another Northwest rock band, Rick and Phil founded Talus. In search of the remaining "right fit" of personality and musicianship for Talus, bassist Frank Olsen was recruited. After repeated tried and failed auditions for the missing piece of the puzzle...the right vocalist, Frank mentioned that a lifelong friend Ryan O'Connor would be interested in trying out. From the first rehearsal it was obvious, Talus was complete, with the balance and fluidity to create a unique sound.Talus continues to increase their fanbase through recording and performances at regional bars, clubs and events. Talus is a hard working, dedicated band with drive, determination and a long term commitment to it's fans and music.
