With a sound that incorporates the atmospherics of Coldplay, the driving guitars of Led Zeppelin, and the evocative balladry and soulful vocals of Jeff Buckley, The Beds have ignited the eyes and ears of their audiences with a simmering mélange of modern and classic rock. These influences are all on display in the Beds’ wildly eclectic live shows, where a stripped-down rendition of Nina Simone’s “Be Your Husband” can erupt seamlessly into a sizzling cover of Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child.” Their original compositions blend elements of classic rock, alternative/indie rock and the best that pop has to offer to deliver powerful explorations of the human experience.

The Beds feature Galen Curry on vocals, Woody Jiang on guitar, Andy Moerschell on bass and keyboards and John Whalen on percussion. The band is based in upstate NY, but has received critical acclaim from far and wide. Richard Young (1990 Grammy winner, 2 time CMA winner) says, "I think these guys must have slept with The Beatles.

The Beds

With a sound that incorporates the atmospherics of Coldplay, the driving guitars of Led Zeppelin, and the evocative balladry and soulful vocals of Jeff Buckley, The Beds have ignited the eyes and ears of their audiences with a simmering mélange of modern and classic rock. Key to their success is an ability to couple these influences with their own mastery of intertwining contrapuntal melodies to create a sonic signature that is completely their own. The quartet matches stellar musicianship and age-defying technique with an honest and unrestrained joy in performing that resonates from the moment the first chord is struck.

The Beds feature Galen Curry on vocals, Woody Jiang on guitar, Andy Moerschell on bass and keyboards and John Whalen on percussion. The band is based in upstate NY, but has received critical acclaim from far and wide; Phil Hurley of Los Angeles (whose many musical credits include the soundtracks for Dumb and Dumber, The River Wild, That Thing You Do, and various spots on HBO, as well as tours with Fountains of Wayne, Lisa Loeb, Gigolo Aunts, and the Tracy Bonham Band) says of The Beds,

"Drawing on influences from both North and South (think Our Lady Peace meets Collective Soul), The Beds intoxicate listeners with a wonderful sense of dynamics and swirling textures. Unlike so much out there in the vapid wasteland of modern ‘pop’, The Beds’ original music rewards your patience with a slow grow that takes you somewhere much more satisfying than expected."

This richness in composition can be attributed to the diversity of the band members’ musical backgrounds. In addition to being blues and rock aficionados, Curry and Jiang are both classically trained, while Whalen is a passionate jazz scholar and enthusiast. These influences are most obvious in the Beds’ wildly eclectic live shows, in which a stripped-down rendition of Nina Simone’s “Be Your Husband” can erupt seamlessly into a sizzling cover of Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child.”

The Beds have played packed houses throughout Central and Upstate New York, opening for the Kentucky Headhunters, rocking the clubs of Saratoga Springs and playing exclusive venues like the historic Jazz club The VanDyck in Schenectady; Peter Olsen –owner of the VanDyck - says of The Beds, "They play well beyond their years. They approach Led Zeppelin with a freshness that Zeppelin lost around the third tour...with spontaneity and great musicianship."

Richard Young (1990 Grammy winner and two time CMA winner, producer, songwriter, guitarist and vocalist), who jammed with The Beds in a small club after they opened for the Headhunters, says, "I think these guys must have slept with The Beatles…you need to check out The Beds."

Musically, The Beds are constantly expanding and experimenting in developing their unique and distinctive sound. Their original compositions blend elements of classic rock, alternative/indie rock and the best that pop has to offer to deliver powerful explorations of the human experience. The hooks are irresistible, the vocals soar and the guitar work is consistently stunning. With a powerful live show, unforgettable melodies, and an ever-expanding fan base, The Beds are ready and eager for a chance to share their music with the world.
