Catch a Dream is an exciting and eclectic five-piece ensemble that performs original guitar and vocal-driven music with classic folk and rock influences. Included in their repertoire are a number of covers. Band leader and principal songwriter Doug Marsh, a Vancouver native and longtime Austin resident, says the band's music focuses on a positive approach to life – and this optimism is instantly apparent in the group's joyous melodies and introspective lyrics.

The acoustic/electric band deftly blends various guitars, bass and percussion. Besides the strong songwriting and musicianship, Catch a Dream's distinguishing characteristics include the compelling and intense four-part vocal harmonies of Marsh and fellow vocalists Cindy Davis, Jeff Wilson and Charlie DiMaggio.

Two of the band members contribute to songwriting duties. Alan Stewart’s Texas Blues boogie writing brings a refreshing element to the band. Marsh says it's exciting that such talented performers with their own solid and diverse backgrounds could come together as friends and as a singular, powerful musical force. Jeff Wilson toured nationally with the Zambezi Brothers in the 70’s; Charlie DiMaggio has recorded and played with Mack Jack Daddy in Austin, Jetstream in Colorado, and played with Myrna Music in Austin.

For a taste of Catch a Dream, give the new 7-song CD Hollow Wooden Box a spin. Catch a Dream's Hollow Wooden Box was recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered at Parrot Tracks Studio by George Coyne.
