About
Love [is] No 1
Love No 1 makes honest traveling music for disenfranchised explorers. With a skillfully played Americana roots-rock sound as a backdrop, they weave introspective stories of imprisoned characters who have hope and desire to break free. Using Love and Freedom as common denominators, they tell tales of highs and lows, loss and gain, pain and joy, and moving on down the line. They are:
-
Jamie Chesak - vocals, guitar, harmonica (Tom Foolery, Stark County)
-
Mac Brown - lead guitar, vocals (Five Fingers of Funk, Tom Foolery, Cornbred, Ragged Word, Up at Seven)
-
Curtis Waterbury - bass (Cornbred, Brother Lemon, Up at Seven)
-
Chris Palmer - drums, vocals (Clumsy Lovers, Sugar Beets, Sweetjuice)
​
Additional Players
-
Joel Fillion - keyboard/vocals (Tom Foolery, Sweet Grass Farmers, Groove Evolution, The Cactus Pricks, The Mistakes)
Jamie, Mac and Joel first played together in 1996 with the band Tom Foolery. They released a CD in 1997 and toured the west in 1999. With the obligations of new families, they stopped playing together in 2000.
In the summer of 2017, Mac and Jamie began playing with Curtis and Chris, who are both accomplished musicians. Armed with new material and experiences, they have embarked on a journey to deliver hope-filled messages from the road to Love and Freedom.
