Big Wide Room brings into an exceptional musical alchemy the diverse talents of Mark Davis, Brett Perkins and David Zink. Each member comes to the trio as a veteran performing songwriter with a strikingly different voice, vision and critically-praised body of work. Playing a "California Sound" strain of folk-rock and Americana pop, together they have crafted songs that rise to themes of spirit, life and passion. Audience raves regularly describe this fusion of talents as "awesome...greater than the sum of the parts..." Performing on guitars and percussion with interwoven harmonies, Big Wide Room has drawn early comparisons to Crosby, Stills & Nash, Counting Crows and The Beatles.
