Release Notes:

Southern guitar rock with soulful vocals, strong
hooks, and thought-provoking lyrics.

The Dearmon brothers, David and Jeff, grew up in
Nashville, Tennessee, playing music from a very
early age. Their father, a country musician, made it
a requirement for the brothers to play - any of
their friends who were around, which included Calvin
Scott, had no choice but to play as well. David and
Calvin at the age of 15, and Jeff at the age of 10,
began their first rock band with another childhood
friend. They knew they had found "their calling";
writing and playing their own material from the very
beginning. David was, and still is, the writer -
Jeff, the best musician. Jeff's ability with bass,
acoustic and six-string electric guitar was
unmatched. They played living rooms and parties for
whoever would listen. In their teens, Calvin moved
away to Los Angeles to pursue a career in
entertainment. David, always writing, would slow
down to raise a family. Jeff would keep on playing,
at the age of 21 a paralyzing motorcycle accident
left him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
The saving grace for Jeff was his ability to
continue playing music and form his own successful
act ("Bodene and The Boys")which he considered "a
gift from God".

The guys lived apart for many years but never grew
apart. Then in the summer of 2003 a phone call to
Calvin in L.A. from guitarist David would change
everything. "I've been writing and working with a
new band. Come home - let's perform again". So, the
show began. Soon, Jeff was back with the band and
the boys were together again. So was the "magic". In
March of 2004 they began their CD. They finished the
project in early May. On June 28th, after many years
of struggle, Jeffery "Bodene" Dearmon passed away.
The band would become "brother Bodene". His brother
David, Calvin, old friend guitarist Scott Mittler,
bassist Ed Tinnin, and former drummer for "Bodene
And The Boy's", Kyle House, would try their best to
look to the future and keep Jeff's work alive. They
performed more shows in Nashville and went to Los
Angeles to play local clubs, including a very
successful show at the world famous Whisky-A-go-go
on the Sunset Strip. If merchandise sales were any
indication, they created a quick fan base. "We feel
like we made our lost brother, friend, and band mate
proud. "After all the work he put into this to get
the band this far "Bodene" sure wouldn't want us to
give up now. We will continue on with new
merchandise, CDs and shows".

"With love for playing music together,
determination, a lifetime of experience, and, of
course, help from above, "brother Bodene" will live
on."
