Perhaps it was fate that brought them together. Five seasoned musicians, all of whom at some point in their individual careers had been close to realizing the dream of virtually every young musician - the ever elusive record deal.
They had all been in bands that opened for legendary acts like Ray Charles, The Who, The Allman Brothers, The Turtles, and more. But they were older now - fossils, if you will. They still enjoyed making music together as The Mustangs, but any dreams of stardom had faded away long ago.
A 2008 Senate hearing focused on corporate largesse in America just about put The Mustangs out of business. The ensuing cut back in entertainment budgets by most corporations meant a lack of work for the band and an abundance of downtime. That in turn led to an experiment.
The idea was to form a multi-generational band that would focus on vocally challenging songs from the 1960s to the present. In 2010, two talented young female singers (foxes) joined up with the experienced voices of The Mustangs (fossils). Together, they produced a beautiful harmonic blend that band founder, Tim Purcell, describes as ear candy.
Some 12 years later, that band - Foxes and Fossils - has taken the internet by storm. In a short time, they've risen from relative obscurity to a number one YouTube sensation. With over 80 million views on their channel (adding about 1.4 million new ones every month), and accolades from artists like Cat Stevens and Graham Nash, Foxes and Fossils have hundreds of thousands of fans in over 40 different countries.
Ear Candy: Foxes and Fossils, America's #1 Cover Band by Paul F. Caranci and band member Sammie Purcell will take you on a musical journey with five fossils and three foxes. A journey starting from the humble beginnings of each member and culminating in the formation of Foxes and Fossils; a true American success story.
