The Brains Behind Pa was formed in 2001 when the paths of bluesman, Gordon Bonham and songwriter, Bill Price crossed. Formed as a side project, The Brains Behind Pa quickly became a trio with the addition of Garry Bole. The material was originally Dylan-based, covering his songs plus those whom he covered. The band expanded with the addition of Jeff Chapin on drums and Jeff Stone on bass. The Brains Behind Pa have evolved their repertoire. Most of the material they perform is original (usually written by Price) with the exeption of old, tradtional folk and blues, plus the occassional Dylan cover. Their original spirit is still intact: a preference for honest songs rooted in traditional styles, always true, never slick.
