1998–2023years

Rustic Overtones came out of Portland, Maine, in 1993, a rock outfit with a lineup that reads like a small army: Dave Gutter, Spencer Albee, Jamie Colpoys, Gary Gemmiti, Tony McNaboe, Dave Noyes, Jason Ward, Ryan Zoidis and Jon Roods have all been in the ranks. With that many hands on deck, the sound is big, busy and built to get a room moving.

Rooms by the Hour, in 1998, brought "Check", and ¡Viva Nueva! followed in 2001 with "C'Mon", a song that goes for broke with a big, swaggering chorus. They were also the first band ever to play live on XM Satellite Radio.

The first run ended in 2002, but they were back in 2007, and that year's Light at the End became the fastest-selling local album the state of Maine had ever seen.
