Born of a parade, the All Seeing Eyes are the pride of Dayton, Kentucky. The three piece of multi-instrumentalists developed into the house band at Masonic Sounds Studios in that Kentucky river town.Housed in a Free Mason Blue Lodge, they created the new LP “In Us We Trust”, now available on Mauvias Foi Records in Europe. The trio was described as “the MC5 of the country blues” by Tav Falcoafter a recent show.Johnny Walker fronts the band, playing harmonica and guitar. He is the progenitor of the Soledad Brothers and Cut in the Hill Gang who has toured singing for MC5/DKT and done session work with the White Stripes, the Detroit Cobras, the Greenhornes, Low Cut Connie and James Leg. Matt Ayers (drums)and Kane Kitchen (bass) are the rhythm section rooted in Cincinnati R and B legends The Guitars. Theband was formed to play a party on a parade route for the largest annual celebration in Cincinnati, Ohio.It was quickly realized that the trio could fill the role as house musicians for Walker’s newly establishedrecording studio across the Ohio river. The All Seeing Eyes began writing and recording their LP inearnest while working in and recording for artists in the Masonic Sounds Studios. They have playedextensively in the Midwest of the United States, but touring has been limited by Walkers preferredprofession, Psychiatry.Coffer is the latest punk outfit from Stools frontman Will Lorenz and Toehead Joey.The Going Gones is the latest and possibly the greatest project from the incredibly talented and prolific Connor Dodson (Quickdraw, ex-Prude Boys, Craig Brown Band). And the equally prolific Gordon Smith (Kickstand Band), Dave Lawson (Scrappers), and I wanna say Pete Ballard (Loose Koozies)… They’re new!
