notes

Martian Acres is home to an official population of two--Bob Story and Dennis Wanebo--who combined their very different personal and professional backgrounds to create this music they call "alt Boulder."

Their first CD, "Middle of the Night," (produced with a musical cast including some of Colorado's brightest lights) brought them the expected joy and satisfaction of a job well done.
Two of the songs, "Middle of the Night" and "Dan's Place" (ROCK and COUNTRY ROCK) quickly found a place in the regular rotation at one of Denver's premier rock stations: 99.5, "The Mountain."

Another song, "Diamond in the Rough," went somewhere else entirely . . . the John Lennon International Songwriting Competition named "Diamond" one of the top ten COUNTRY songs of 2003. ("OK, they've got rock and country . . . what else have they got?" Interesting you should ask.) A fourth song, "Water Under the Bridge" was recently included in "The Essential JAZZ Collection" issued by Oasis Records in Atlanta.

And on the net? Well, the Middle of the Night CD is selling well. Maybe that's as it should be. The net has been "very very good" to Martian Acres. The title cut, "Middle of the Night," has been selected for inclusion in the "best of" CD from VS Planet Radio--which is hardly surprising, since the song was NUMBER ONE ON VS PLANET CHARTS (!) several times during 2004, and was the far-and-away winner on VS Planet's "power chart."

Look and listen to "Waltz to War," Bob and Dennis' second CD, which can be found at http://cdbaby.com/cd/martianacres2 They are incredibly excited about this new material which reflects their growth as songwriters and musicians. Share the discovery of Martian Acres and Alt Boulder with all of your music-loving friends. It's un-niche-able.

  • This is Great Stuff!
    author: Mike Schneider

    Great fun here! Alt Boulder......if that's country rock with a dash here and there of blues, jazz and folk. Middle of the Night is beautiful. If Dan's Place doesn't put a smile on your face nothing will. Master musicians. Great songs and extemely well recorded. It just doesn't get much better than this........

  • Compelling Artistry
    author: Lawrence King

    A bit hard to believe this is a first effort by these guys. A broad range of musical genres but all characterized by a compelling authenticity of lyric and message. I favor the more acoustic numbers but it all just rocks!

  • A wonderful eclectic CD.
    author: Paul Cattermole

    We are not musicians but rather curious listeners. Both the singing and instuments were fabulous. The different selections made this the most diverse and entertaining CD's we have ever heard. Great job.

    A great collection of eclectic music, not quite rock, not quite country, not quite jazz and not quite blues, but a wonderful mixture of all.

    A great effort by an accomplished team hits their greatest strides behind Grace's voice.

  • These guys are great !!

    The collaboration of Dennis Wanebo and Bob Story had to turn out great. Bob is the ultimate musician, skilled arranger and the vision guy. You may never listen to a better musician as long as you live. He's simply that perfect. And Dennis...what to say about Dennis? A dreamer, a schemer and maker of rhymes. The way he turns a phrase still makes me chuckle. And don't forget the incredible voice of Grace Wanebo. Hopefully, she'll make it her career. Buy this album. It's a blueprint for song writing, arranging and production.
