August 83 plays an inspired mix of original songs with catchy melodies, vocals and instrumentation. Inspired by artists like Sting, Toto, Pink Floyd, Sheryl Crow, Elton John Heart & Queen, their sound is a mix of Pop, Rock & Funk. Lead singer Linda Lambert’s extraordinary vocal prowess lends heartfelt vocals to their melodic songs. Songwriter & Guitarist, Mike Lambert’s songs are memorable & novel. Lambert’s vocals are complimented by keyboardist Jeff Ball’s sophisticated piano lines. Drummer, Dale Bankston and bassist Marco Yepez drive the band as a solid, hard hitting rhythm section and Dan Carpenter’s soulful sax is a signature part of the August 83 sound.
