Bare Necessity plays for the people. Fusing massive rock n' roll melodies with fiery hip hop beats, the Bay Area band conjures an infectious, incendiary sound. Embracing elements of Rock, Funk, Rap, and Soul, these five individuals have created something you haven't heard before.
Every year or two Bare Necessity is guaranteed to shake things up, and 2012 is going to be no different. We will be adding a new lead guitar player this year so be sure to come out to welcome the new addition. The current lineup consists of Dodd Michael Lede on rhythm guitar and vocals, Shawna Cole on vocals, Fred Morecraft on bass, and Jude Cwalenski on drums. We are looking forward to adding additional layers of versatility to a group already known for just that. With harmonized vocals and intricate musical arrangements, the band is already working on new material.
Their high energy live performances include songs from multiple genres and decades, without the band losing their own identity in the process. Singer Lede professes, “We are an original cover band!” Creating their own arrangements of popular music gives the band flexibility to mix and match songs as they choose, making each performance unique and different from one venue to the next, one night to the next.
Bare Necessity plays events, both public and private, large and small. Bare Necessity was selected as the Budweiser Plaza House Band for the Houston Texans organization in 2007, featured in the Galveston County Daily News publication “After Hours” in 2010, and regularly plays balls and parties for Mardi Gras in Galveston Texas every year. While the band loves to play the large events, smaller venues allow the band an intimacy with the audience that can be lost in the larger settings, driving them to continue to perform at local bars, pubs, and watering holes in the Houston and Galveston areas as much as possible.
