Word of Mouth is a fun-loving and eclectic band whose comfortable persona is confidently backed up with superb musicianship, attention to detail, and a focus on vocals and harmonies with a female lead. Word of Mouth grew out of friendship and community into a band, and they bring those righteous tidings to each show with thoughtful sets containing feel good music, poignant songs, and danceable grooves.
Word of Mouth never plays the same setlist twice, and fans have come to enjoy the unpredictable and choice song selections. It's impossible to pigeonhole Word of Mouth into a genre as they weave a tapestry of classic rock, Americana, country, R&B, and funk into their own creation, best described as "The Snowbelt Groove."
Liz Ford (vocals and ukulele) and Dave Fisher (vocals and guitars) captivate audiences with their lead vocals and harmonies, adding depth and dimension to their stellar uke and guitar work. Liz, a NEO resident of the past decade, enjoys singing along to every genre of music, teaching science, and chasing around her three children. Dave, a longtime member of the NEO music scene, has put his full attention and energy on this latest project. Dobie (guitar and vocals), our lead guitarist, is the newest addition to the band. His guitar work mixes precision and virtuosity with inspiration and spontaneity. Catch his backup vocals on many of the songs (and tell him we want to hear more!!). Some say that Mario Talarico (drums and vocals) was born with drumsticks in his hands. His drum beats, energy and vocals keep the band moving and grooving. Huck Ford (bass and vocals) rounds out a rhythm section which boils the sap into a thick amber syrup of aged maple funk.
Drawing on a wide range of influences, Word of Mouth has quickly built up a devoted following of fans from around Northeast Ohio.Their shows are more than just music, but are community affairs with a deep sense of camaraderie between all involved.
