“That’s the kind of band that can get huge.” –Andy Thorn, of Leftover Salmon.

As said in the quote above, Waiting On Trial is the kind of band that can go places.  And they are.  What started as a group of college buddies rocking out at legendary house parties in the band’s hometown of Durango, CO, has over the last few years turned into Southern Colorado’s up-and-coming band.   As they began to leave the kitchens, living rooms, and backyards of the house parties they frequented and began playing publicly in the local bar scene, it was obvious that they had a strong following.

Never having any interest in doing things the standard way, the band plays almost entirely original material, occasionally throwing in the unexpected cover song.  You might hear a song from Social Distortion or an obscure cover stolen from some random 80's movie soundtrack thrown into the mix at a WOT show.

Instrumentally, WOT is a bluegrass band, featuring Upright Bass, Guitar, Mandolin, and Banjo.  The band has been described as “an upbeat, rock and roll jug-band that likes to have fun.”  Labeling is difficult-to-impossible, however, as they are very much a genre-bending group.

The energetic conviction and rowdy fun times of the live shows ensure the continued success of the band.  People want to party with these guys!

“This band is so Nasty.”  -Travis Book, of The Infamous Stringdusters.
