The Preserve is based in Tempe, Arizona and combines roots rock and delta blues with a Cajun- and Zydeco-influenced sound. The four members — two south Louisiana natives and two longtime Arizonans — released their debut CD, The Setup, in August 2009.
The Arizona CD Release Party rocked Club Red in Tempe. The band then went on a Louisiana swing through New Orleans, Houma and Lafayette that included a CD Release Party at The City Club and a rockin’ show that shook the Blue Moon Saloon, a Lafayette honky tonk. The band is already working on new material for a second CD planned for late this year.
The Preserve has played at venues across Arizona including The Marquee Theater, the Hard Rock Cafe Phoenix, Alice Cooper’stown and the 2008 and 2009 P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n Roll Arizona marathons. The band celebrated 2009 and welcomed 2010 on New Year’s Eve with a high-energy, 90-minute set on the main stage of the Fiesta Bowl Block Party, opening for The Doobie Brothers.
Members have also shared the stage or bill with musicians from Alex Grossi of Quiet Riot to Dizzy Reed of Guns ‘N Roses, Bourbon Street regular Waylon Thibodeaux to Grammy winner Tab Benoit, .38 Special to Dash Rip Rock to Cowboy Mouth.
