The BUS Band, made up of KJ Braithwaite, Joe Uveges, and Jim Sokol, have the kind of vocal blend that stops a crowd in mid-murmur. They've been performing on and off for 30 years, making laughter and music as easily as breathing Rocky Mountain air. Their covers of Crosby, Stills and Nash are the stuff of local legend and their originals are listener friendly, thoughtful, funny, and filled with harmony.
KJ Braithwaite, a rock and rockabilly guitar wizard, feels guitar in the same way as Eric Clapton -less is more, and space makes the music speak. With 40 plus years of playing guitar and 4 albums under his belt, he is also one of the finest songwriters in the region.
Jim Sokol has been part of 4 albums with Joe Uveges including the critically acclaimed "Up Please," a 2008 release that also features Phil Volan. His voice could be Irish Tenor, it could be Sting, it could be David Grey. He never fails to have just the right quip for the moment, often at the expense of one of his fun-loving mates. He also brings understated percussion for this acoustic sound with the occasional soulful harmonica solo.
Joe Uveges has become a fixture on the C.S. music scene with 5 Gazette "Best Of's” including 2011 and 2012 "Best Solo Musician" awards, publishing credits in film and with Goodnight Kiss Music out of CA. He has 9 original albums released, the latest recorded in Nashville with Stephanie Pauline (When theSmoke Clears). He is one of the most engaging performers in Colorado Springs with his legendary "On the spot" songwriting skills that make every event once in a lifetime.
