ABOUT THE OUTERSPACE BAND
The Outerspace Band was formed in 1968 by Dave Robinson, Compton Maddux, Eliot Osborn, John Moses, and Klon Koehler. All five members have performed together every year since then, with first drummer Chief Kubicek through 1997, followed by Michael Wiskey. Their songs reflect experiences shared as teenagers to the present day: from college dorms to tents alongside I-84, from a Wendell commune to NYC apartments, the Warwick Inn to the White House, from no cares to day cares, from the last moon landing to the next.
The majority of Outerspace songs are written by Dave, Compton, Eliot and John, spanning a wide variety of styles influenced by the many national artists they’ve opened for: Allen Toussaint, BB King, Waylon Jennings, Willie Dixon, Dr. John, Jefferson Starship and NRBQ, to name a few.
For this long-awaited return to the Upper Valley, Outerspace has chosen The Shea Theater over their usual venues and festival sites. The Shea has it all: a true proscenium theater with great in house production, a lobby bar with BBC beer on tap, comfortable seats and (of course) a dance floor. Spend an evening with Outerspace and see where their music takes you.
